    Getting close for new tires

    The Conti's I currently have worked fine. Been in CO for some time now but come from northern MN driving. I thought the Altimax RT43s were good but not as good as the Conti's I currently have (Continental Cross Contact LX25s). Just checking to see what's out there at this point as a better...

    Getting close for new tires

    True. If it does it's maybe one to two weeks at a time (re-occurring throughout winter) at most and especially on the side streets. I see the CC2s here a lot!

    Getting close for new tires

    I have Continental Cross Contact LX25s. Before long I'm going to have to replace them. Been happy with them. Is this still the way to go? I always like to check in and see if there's a better option. I'm seeing the Michelin Cross-Climate 2 on cars a lot. But I think the treadware isn't as good...

    Where's the best place to buy Mazda map updates?

    Familiar with that process. However, using the Mazda Toolbox typically has the cost similar to the dealer. There is a transaction to pay for it via this method.

    Next to Fuel Filler (2024 CX-5)

    Currently renting a 2024 CX-5. I've never seen this next to the filler. Must be something for a different model or something?

    Is it my battery or something else? (2016.5 CX-5)

    So I finally decided to deal with the battery. When it's got tested at oil changes it's coming up as 440 CCA. Originally 640 CCA. This was an interstate battery from Costco. Now that Costco's are about $126 for a size 35 and a 3 year prorated. I decided to go with the Walmart EverStart Platinum...

    AGM Battery required for 2016 CX-9 GT?

    Yeah, I think I have to agree with you there. My brain keeps defaulting back to the northern Minnesota days.Brrr

    AGM Battery required for 2016 CX-9 GT?

    Ya, I'm considering the Walmart Everstart Platinum/AGM. 4 yr replacement. Not totally sold on the idea. Bummed about Costco. I used to take a wrench with and take the old battery in with and walk out with the new, install and drive off. Walmart: $140 flooded 3yr (640 CCA) vs $180 AGM 4yr...

    AGM Battery required for 2016 CX-9 GT?

    I'm looking at replacing my battery already. 3.5 years. Interstate from Costco. Now they are $127 or so for the flooded and prorated during the 3 years. Ugh. Thinking the flooded (Maxx) or AGM (Platinum) from Walmart - EverStart.

    2016 CX-5 Interstate battery replaced with Walmart Everstart Evermax

    Unfortunately, in US or at least CO, it's now 3 years but prorated within that 3 years. Disappointed as they are convenient for me to get to but I don't think the batteries are as good. I have one of theirs now and it's about 3.5 years and needs to be replaced. I'm seeing more Duracell...

    Rear brake job price reasonable?

    Correct. Not sure where the discs are at other than they claim minimum.

    Rear brake job price reasonable?

    Lots of options. Starting to wonder here. My regular dealership seems to have the best price and even so over Brakes Plus. Which is close. Neighbor of mine has the tools and we can get the space. But I'm wondering where the rotors are actually at as the dealership didn't say. Although when I...

    Rear brake job price reasonable?

    What is the minimum thickness for the OEM discs (rear) on this vehicle? I'm only eyeballing it but it isn't seem like it's that bad but I honestly don't know. Curious of the front as well.

    Rear brake job price reasonable?

    So the pads are at 3 mm but the technician said the discs are at their minimum they didn't actually say how many mm. I followed up with the service manager. Sounds like at the dealership or this guy who did my transmission service, neither would change out or do anything with the brake lines or...

    Ya, I just missed a 10% off that had expired a couple of weeks ago at the dealership.
