I changed them out about a week ago. It only had 2/32 of tread left in them and the rubber was rock hard. When the tread life is near its end, the grip seems to go along with it. No warrenty claims was submitted. The tires were already beat up with plugs and patches from nails. It was already on...
This type of cracking also happened to my Michelin PS4’s. I have about 27k on the tires. It had never seen below 40f temps. This type of cracking looks like the tire will have tread separation. The entire tread will completely separate from the sidewall. The stock Conti’s were fine with no sign...
This would be my 3rd oil analysis on this car with the same brand of oil and filter. From the looks of it. I will keep using the same oil and filter brand. I had it tested at 6k, 8k and now 10k. It gives me a peace of mind that my engine is still protected if I don’t get the chance to change my...
My maintenance minder came up at 5.5k miles. I just reset it and continue on with my testing. I was determined to go to 10k just to see what is the condition of the oil.
I just want to say that I don’t routinely change my oil and filter at 10k. I usually have my oil and filter changed at 4-6k miles. This will only be a one time thing. I highly doubt anybody would run their type R for such a long period of time without an oil change. This is done purely based out...
I’m using that exact size and tire brand. Even at 30 sidewall I can feel a slower turn in compared to the stock tire size. This feeling amplifies itself during daily driving when you do a lot of light and moderate turning going place to place. A 255 width would probably be better traction for...
I can attest to this. My 5th Gen prelude I had back in the days was notorious of burning oil. I only had about 1 1/2 quart of oil left after 5k miles on the oil. About 3 months later the engine blew due to spun bearings. I knew it was that incident that caused it because it was the only time it...
Yup, that is what I meant. Good steering is important especially on a daily driven car. You make many left and right turns everyday. You don’t know what kind of things you try to avoid on the streets. Pot holes and bad drivers are plentiful.I almost got side swiped the other day because someone...
I daily drive my car for a while now with the stock tires and the PS4’s and I know “Squiggly” feeling when it is felt. My tire pressure is at 45 psi cold on all sides. This is not about traction. Car has plenty of traction. This is about stability and cornering precision. The handling felt...
I have tracked my car with that same brand and size. All I have to say that it’s “squiggly “ when cornering. Lots of sidewall flex. I’ll go back to the stock sizing of 245/30zr20 when I replace my worn out current set.
I am afraid of my A/C going out too. I’m already out of warranty. A/C is operating fine for now. I had my A/C tested and it currently blowing at 40F in its coldest setting. If I decide to sell the car in the future. It would be hard to sell the car or lose a large amount of re-sale value if the...
