Fluids aren’t lifetime anymore. Apparently you can’t assume viscosity anymore

Or that could be a slight bent Rim. The balance machine would try to offset for wobble. They probably need to dismount the tire and turn it on the wheel.

Got new tires this morning, Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 245/40/19 & 275/35/19, the AS3+ I had previously lasted me 29k. Have to say you get so used to road noise as tires wear and it just becomes normal.. then you get new tires and quite as hell and think to yourself how did I deal with this noise before. Got them from Discount Tire I was in and out in 35 mins gotta love DT..

Having previously owned AS3+, I would love to hear how the AS4 compares.

As I’ve only driven about 20 miles so far too early to tell. One thing I did love about the AS3+ is that they had a lip/rim protector which I loved and the AS4’s don’t

Finally decided to sell it. Seeking top dollar, I spent the evening detailing it.










And now that it’s all clean? Scratch that. Firm decision to keep it forever!!!
