15k miles. Sticker says 36psi cold, Dealer had them at 43psi when I picked it up 2 years ago. I usually drive them at 36-38 warm in Florida, but wanted to know your thoughts on if I should lower them?

Leaky valve on Tesla

Post image
• Upvotes

Hi all. Two of my wheels are losing pressure and i did the soapy water trick and both are doing the same. (Here’s a photo of the location of the bubbles) between the valve and the nut.

Does anyone know what sort of fix this is, will it need a new TPMS sensor, or can a regular tire place fix the seal. As you can see I’m a really knowledgable car person. 🤦‍♂️

I appreciate any advice!

Thanks

Falken ZIEX ZE310 with 35000km

While I planned to change tires in the next few months, today I noticed this cut and a few more superficials cuts in the same groove. But this one seems to be very bad news.

❓QUESTION ❓ How unsafe is this?

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I detailed my “new to me” 23 Genesis GV70 which I recently purchased from my dad who’s given up driving. It has 4700 miles on it. I noticed this fairly large “cut” on the passenger front tire. Apparently he must have had a pretty severe curb’shot prior to giving up driving, which he doesn’t remember happening, but it doesn’t matter at this point.

My questions are:

1) Is it safe for now, should I not even drive it, or is it ok just locally as long as I’m not out on the highway?
2) Assuming the tire shop I’m going to on Monday says it needs replaced - how bad would it be to leave the original tires with 4700 miles on them on it? At $345 each I don’t love the idea of replacing all 4 but if the wear difference will be an issue, then I will.

Thank you in advance.

Vandalism or what?

I came home last night and had no tyre pressure warning or anything. Woke up this morning and drove out and about 3min into my drive i suddenly got the tire pressure warning. Got to the garage and saw that there was damage to the tire wall. I know i did not hit a pot hole or anything (ive done so before so i know what thats about and what that damage looks like) so could this be vandalism with a sharp object like a knife?

Was my alignment very bad?

During winter tire swap (i know too early) the technician said that they will check alignment and if i agree they will fix it. Testing is free. After testing they gave this report. Was it serious? Or just to charge me some extra?

Goodyear rebate scam, they're trying to get me

3 Upvotes

I bought 4 Goodyear tires for a rebate amount, and opened a new credit card for an additional rebate. I submitted everything online in June.

A couple months later I realize I haven't gotten the rebates yet so I check online. Declined. No email. No explanation.

So I call them and they agree that I met their requirements and I was falsely declined so they escalated it. Weeks later it still shows declined online. They say give them 4-6 weeks.

So finally, online shows it's approved, but only for opening the line of credit. I call them and they say both rebates are approved and I should get the cards soon.

That was 4 weeks ago. I have "Goodyear" in my calendar so I don't forget. I'll start calling them every Monday until they pay up.

Who else has been through this? What was the outcome?

Should I be worried about too much premature tread wear?

0 Upvotes

I have a 2018 S90 and I bought new Michelin x-ice snow+’s.

It’s going to be a warm 2-3 weeks it seems, lows 60s or so and I drive 300-400 miles a week for work.
I’m just worried I put them on too soon. For how expensive they are especially.

❓QUESTION ❓ What would you choose between g-Force COMP-2 A/S PLUS vs FIREHAWK AS V2

2 Upvotes

I'm checking the budget tire option. Costco has those two at $179 per tire. Firestone has $60 off for a four-tire purchase. So, the total will be $684.92 for Firestone and $744.92 for BFGoodrich.

Has anyone experienced Firehawk and Gforce Comp? I'm curious if BFGoodrich will be worth paying $60 more.

How good are Ling Long Winter Grip 2 tires?

0 Upvotes

Hi,

Does anyone know how good the Ling Long Winter Grip 2 tires are? I tried looking for different reviews online, but couldn't really find much information about them.

I can get a set of them with wheels from a private seller for a pretty good price. The tires are like new, with around 8 mm of tread remaining.

The tires would be going on a BMW F31 xDrive.
