agreed
Tune up time. Oil change, cleaned MAF sensor, lubricate bov and all that good stuff. Both front tires are almost toast only after about 10,000 miles of usage. I switched those to the back. I guess that what happens when you add power and having too much fun. Also, both front brake pads needs replacement just below 30k on the odometer.

I hope youre not saying your tires have not been rotated for 10k miles. I do mine every other oil change (6k)
speaking of...yesterday I ordered some new ones via tirerack. Some kumho ecstas. I liked the ratings and reviews so I decided to go for them
So this will be my third set of tires. OE potenzas til about 25~30k, eagle gt's til 70k, and the kumhos should be here this week sometime. Im just gonna take them to NTB so they can do it. I have to remeber to give them another valve stem since I have a cracked one. Im also kinda weary about getting new tires and then the tpms batteries start going, since this summer it will be 5 years old and I guess thats the average lifespan
Im also keeping a very close eye on skyactive-d vehicles. I really want a cx5, but if this engine becomes mazdas next big hit for them and they put it in their 3 I might get that instead. Im not ready for a 6

If I was keeping the Speed3, I'd be getting my 5th set of tires in the Spring.
OE Potenzas (summers #1-2), Michelin X-Ice (winter #1-4), Hankook V12 (summer #3-4), Michelin X-Ice (winter #5)
I'd love it if they put the diesel in the 3. I'd put one up as a DD since I drive so much.

Parked and stored for the winter in the garage
Mine has been parked since early Dec. And will continue to be parked until the moment the snow begins to thaw, which is usually early March. However, currently, it's at the body shop waiting for a new OEM rear bumper cover. :shrug: At least they gave me a rental to drive.

Mine's a DD four days a week. The Ram has the duty on Fridays. Fortunately, I don't have to plan for winter storage.
dom is a pussy. it's official.
DD's 80 miles a day. 90k miles on 2007. big turbo, built motor, balance shaft delete.
waiting on some AN fittings to arrive to finish AN conversion on methanol setup.
fabbed up stainless steel meth tank and stainless steel bracket for the hatch. Meth tank cerakoted black because badass. water beads up on it like my black hair.
I drive over this every day:

Ive got a '12 3500 now (from a '10 1500 hemi), and i make an attempt to drive that once a week to keep parts moving. Those new diesels hate city driving and idling so i limit trips to long periods of highway speeds
Rediculous i know, but we got it to haul our new 5th wheel
My tires for the speed should be here on or about the 7th

Got the truck before the camper. The 1500 used to pull our small <5000lb travel trailer. Our 5th wheel comes in under 12k lbs gross so we got a 3500 single wheel with the cummins.
First diesel, love it. Thats why im also so interested in the diesel mazda is bringing to the states. Hybrid mileage, without the vaginal power of one
