I too had the check engine light go on and the car idle rough. I went to both Autozone and Advanced Auto Parts and both did the diagnostic for me and the code was bank 1 running lean. They said it could be a bunch of things like a dirty fuel filter or a bad sensor or bad plugs... Luckily a guy...

I switched to a larger tire 205-55-16 (vs 195-50-16) Bridgestone Potensa's RE960AS. I bought these at Sam's which may not be popular in this forum but the price was good and they are rated for 80k miles. (yippy) The noise problems I had with the stock Dunlops is gone and the life is much...

...not a dramatic difference if you ask me. 5% is not significant? If I could package a product that gives you 5% better milage you could make mucho $$$.(dance)

So she looks pretty and wins the race??(second)

To Goodfornothing, Try the 205-55-16 size. They are probably cheaper, quieter and I think you get better milage too(2thumbs) is the reason for this thread. I also like the larger look too.(10) The Potenzas have a 400 threadlife rating which is pretty good compared to others. I don't know...

So do you Pro5x2 race your P5 against your wife's P5? (nailbyt) What tires do you buy?

I agree with the improved look too. The new tires are wider and the little bit more sidewall make the overall size look more appropriate for the car. The original tires, in my opinion, look too small in proportion to the car. Anyway if anybody else is running larger diameter tires please let...

I have had it with the standard tires, Dunlops... (deadhorse) Let's face it, they are noisy as all heck, they lasted nothing (I think they even wore-out parked in the garage), and they cost a fortune to replace if you can find them (usually a special order). Anyway I switched to a larger tire...
