Where did you get these, and how do they feel so far? I'm definitely going to need some around the end of October and these seem like the perfect choice.
Gents,
Consider the Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate All Season? I think these are underrated. Tire Rack did some testing and they beat the Mich A/S in wet traction (lots of moisture here in NW FL) and they’re comparable to other Top tier A/S and less expensive like $220x4=$880 delivered, including affiliate mount & bal, (had $75 VISA too, now promo is $100 MasterCard) good warranty, worthy choice.

Just something to consider vs Bridgestone or Pirelli for those looking for great year round tire. Michelin is a great tire too but to me, overpriced with little/no significant advantage (status symbol?). My experience in 3k miles or so is they grip close to as well as the B-s Contact OEMs without the self sacrifice in tread wear. Went with 255/35/19 on 9.5 wheels.

My PS AS4 were 194 a tire (TireRack, DiscountTire, Costco). Ended up being 776 For the tires and like 120-ish for the mount and balancing. The PS AS3+ can be had for 169 a tire (DiscountTire). Keep in mind that tire prices fluctuate and change.

Edit: when I got my AS3+ they were like 230 a tire. I think the DSW06 were like 250 at the time too. Everything a 245/40/18.

Wow! Gave the Sonax Alcantara and Upholstery Cleaner a try after the reviews I saw on here. My seatbelt had turned the edge of my seat to an awful color. Put this on and used a new soft tooth brush. Wiped it right off.

DeVo,
Very encouraging, thanks for sharing. I got a can but have yet to try it out, vacuumed with soft brush attachment first as prep.

Good stuff apparently and Kosher too!
(The joke was to be based the Hebrew on the can, got mine wholesale).

I saw the "Extreme" for sale as well. Wasn't sure of the difference, if truly any. So I just got the regular can. I'm sure it will work the same

My back seat companion NOS pillow IN RED (as requested) arrived today after a month from the originators of Chinese food. I doubt they go out for ‘Uhmerkin’ food very often.

I’ve nrever been there but if Peace & Democracy prevail, I’d sit down holding a menu sideways and ask (in my best Southun’ drawl), “Y’all serve quizeen (cuisine)?

Not hilarious but I bet someone RepyTs it.

I have the same problem, ended up using a seat belt pad to help it a little bit. It's good to know a brand of cleaner that works!

You inspired me to totally clean everything Alcantara yesterday, took about 3 hours with rinse repeat drivers seat. Windows down baked in garage last night, will vacuum (touchless) fibers tonight as gurus on YouTube suggest that to remove any remaking dirt and get the fibers vertical again.

No amazing before/after photos but the Sonax Extreme foam worked great, even on (cheesy) Alcantara steering wheel cover.

I only used light buff/scrub with moist microfiber, then wet slightly squeezed water from gal capacity jug and R2 water once rinsing gets it little cloudy. Blot dry more with microfiber, good as new looking now, surely better dry and vac’d later today.

Parts are starting to arrive. Exhaust+front pipe should be next. PRL intercooler was delayed another 2 weeks but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ , high flow grille is in too but waiting for intercooler to only take off the front once. Will do downpipe, front pipe, exhaust, intercooler, and grille all in the same day when it’s all in and I have access to my friends garage lift.

The RV6 catless (was catted, switched at last second) in black ceramic coating is nice. It’s coated inside and out. Originally had planned to heat wrap it as well but think I’ll hold off.

Nice DP!! Are you running with Hondata or KTuner? If you are running it stock, please report back if the fouler works to prevent any CEL. This would be my dream part to do but I want to keep my ecu stock. Lucky you!!
