May not be an issue on the 18s but I know people had a lot of issues with the 19” Style 313s breaking. I think $900 for a set of secondhand OE wheels with garbage tires is pretty steep.Quote:

My old wheels cracked so I'm no stranger to that lol. I'll hold off on what would probably be more of a quick fix than anything.

You guys ever change these green Riggs on the oil filter? New in photo.
I just changed them on my wife’s ZSP. 100k. They still looked decent.

I was actually just thinking about those tonight during an oil change. I remember changing the lower o ring every time on my E36. Guess those green bois is tough because mine looked fine too.Quote:

Oh, maybe it's an FCP thing. That's probably why I keep seeing one of them included.Quote:

I know the Pilot A/S3+ is the gold standard, but I really like my Hankook 200TWs so I’m considering giving their A/S tires a shot. The price is very attractive, there’s a rebate, and the warranty is actually better than Michelin or Nate’s beloved Cooper.
What about the Bridgestone a/s re760?Quote:

Last kit I got a week ago from FCP Euro was the liqui moly oil change kit. The 2 green o-rings were included in a separate small bag.Quote:

From what I can tell the 760 is a summer tire, but the 980 is an A/S. Interestingly the Bridgestone warranty doesn’t say anything about staggered fitments.Quote:

Here they are in a 235/40/18 on a 8.5" apex arc8. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1d8c04bc06.jpg

How do you like them? If I remember right you’re ~1.5hrs north of me so weather is pretty similar. With the $70 rebate they’re a pretty good price.Quote:

But they are mounted on my mom's sedan and she has no complaints. Good tire for the price.

With my suspension setup I’m used to firm. As long as they can handle 1-2” of white stuff, I’m too low to drive in anything more.Quote:

For tires used on staggered fitments (vehicles with differentsize tires between the front and rear); the front tires will havethe full mileage warranty (if available) and the rear tires willhave one-half of the stated mileage warranty (if available)
Yep, those are the FM-5s. I had some Fikse Aro on my Accord before she was stolen. I got them for like 1k...stupid deal right? I want another set, need to finish where I left off.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bed9d37106.jpgQuote:

So the M2 competition came with Michelin PSS.
I thought I remember reading that they are discontinued? Replaced by the 4s?
I still see PSS for sale everywhere ...
When I spoke to a Michelin rep at MTrack days in 2017, he mentioned that they will continue to build them for at least 3 more years due to contractual obligations. He also said they will phase them out slowly with OE tires being the last to disappear. Basically Michelin should continue to make the tires available for at least 3 more years after the vehicle production had ended...Quote:

Perhaps I’ll go for the 4s
Actually, if that was 2017, they’ll be gone in a year...

The actual seating area of the Alcantara seats is a resilient fabric, so no need to worry about clothing wear during normal driving. What gets rekt on those seats is the bolsters from dragging your booty across them during ingress/egress. I had a 200k mile sedan with Alcantara in great condition because the owners were all careful not to drag on the bolsters.
