    featuring a color scheme/wheel combination that looks like my car. Machine gray with black wheels. Well, my uniqueness lasted about a year I guess. Full speed ahead to black out my roof!

    I bought them on a Labor Day sale this fall from Discount Tire Direct for about $160 ea with about $100 in rebates or so and today is the first day of driving them with appreciable snow and ice on the roads here in W PA. It is cold, mid teens so that alone gives the tires more grip (melting...

    CSBS.....failed @ 7200 miles

    At least the module that controls the system did. Symptom was an amber dash light of a car with a forward arrow and a cloud of something. Went into the settings and found a malfucktion message, take to dealer immediately. So I sat for 2.5 hour while they replaced it under warranty. Anyone else...

    Tires: Saw these on that Range rover commercial...Pirelli

    That commercial, where the Range Rover climbs 999 steps and then bottoms out on the top step as the guy gives the fist pump...I was paying attention to detail, thought the black wheels with the red vehicle looks hot, and the closer I looked at the tires, they have some kind of tread on the...

    Anyone know the weight of the stock 17" wheels on a 2017?

    In the market for new wheels and have it narrowed down to 2 choices. Both are Enkie one is PDR. The other type 48. The 48s are 24lb per. PDR are about 21 I think. Dont want to add a lot of unsprung weight to the corners.

    What is with the pop up ads

    All of the sudden, they show up on the tablet screen in the lower right corner. They are ruining the viewer experience. I added a second ad blocker, but I think it may be browser specific. What works effectively to block this stuff on this sight?

    Is there a light available for this?

    I was out working today and was following I think a Volvo CUV type vehicle. Integrated into the rear bumper were 2 brighter red lights that were not brake lights, I suspect they are the so called European rear fog lights, a bright marker light. Is there anyone have a source for the CX5 that is...

    Roof rack cross bars, do you have to have....?

    the side rails in order for you to use cross bars? I was looking at cross bars on Carid.com the other day, and there seems to be some universal fit bars that are not adjustable front to rear, which I think is what the installation of the side bars get you. I could be COMPLETELY wrong here, but I...

    So did anyone, besides me, drive in Erie today

    I was up there at 7:30 this morning. The snow levels were quite impressive. It was up to my crotch in a location that had already been plowed. Supposed to have been around 65"

    Favorite tire dressing for those who like dressing.

    I'm currently trying some Meguires Hotshine tire coating is what it is called. Less than impressed so far. Use Black Magic bleach white tire cleaner on dry tires, wait until they dry and then apply the coating. Have a gel from Black Magic called tire wet or something like that sitting around...

    I think I'm done buying "stuff"

    I bought the Husky floor matts, interior led lights, stock fog light kit, and the stock mazda trunk matt. That trunk matt is really nice rubber, a little sticky so stuff does not slide around. The only thing left that I am considering doing is replace the stock wheels with some Enkie PDC model...

    Just ordered an interior light kit

    I went with the Precision LED kit, watched the video, checked over the website. The kit is vehicle specific, I had looked at Amazon for the Phillips individual bulbs, but in this case, I'll be dealing with someone whose business is supplying bulbs and not a free for all market. Should I...
