That might shift the CG rearward by a millimeter. It’s not going to be significantly different than stock.

Or Wendy’s. Whatever…

Yeah, I thought you were okay. I’m almost sorry for putting you on my ignore list. Almost…

if you drink, this may be the time.

For the record - my plugs came out with the electrodes coated in carbon, but with roughly the same gaps as their replacements. Didn’t want to put that there, as I really don’t care to stir pots.

That was a joke… in the context of the thread, it was the equivalent of “I’ll see myself out”.

You’re added. You don’t have to ask twice.

I assume you’re talking about plugs for the NA engine? Because the ones I got were and are still $20.XX a piece, and Amazon’s ‘as low as’ price is $20.12. I probably could have gotten mine a bit cheaper, but I found a legit seller with fast shipping and stopped there.

Then you’re golden.

Assuming those are kΩ, yes.

You forgot the eagle screeching when you said that. 🦅

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that the people with access to the CEO Program couldn’t care less about engine break-in.

I believe you are mistaken.

I've done post-mortem examinations on a few CV driveshaft joints, and documented more than a few OE replacement axle shafts for technical evaluation, so I have some pretty solid professional background, here. Regardless of the name brand that ends up going on the box, any axle shaft worth...

You have multiple pieces between the oil pan and the dipstick port on the valve cover. There is going to be a set of tolerances on each of those pieces, including the gaskets between several of them. That’s going to introduce an error that I’d bet stacks up to at least 1 mm of potential...

Is it possible that the dealer just doesn’t like you, and they passed along their impressions to Mazda Canada?

They would definitely be on my short list if I were in the market for light-duty AT tires. The only downside is that they’re on the heavy end of the range for their size. It’s probably a big contributor to the complaints about a rough ride.

Since you phrased your question as comparing to the entire Pirelli brand... The only blanket statement you can really make between tire brands is that some companies are conservative with their UTQG treadwear ratings, while others will be pretty optimistic in estimating how long their tires...

It sounds like you lost a bushing in a steering gear joint. Unless you live very close to a shop that can do suspension work, I’d make arrangements to have it towed in for repairs.

Eh… the lack of longitudinal grooves on the WeatherActive is going to hurt hydroplaning resistance, and the tread compounds on 3PMSF tires pretty much universally sacrifice wet grip. If you live in an area where they make sense for you, then absolutely - get the WeatherActives. I’m in an area...
