Re: It finally happened...possible CVT faiure

Hey there, any idea what an RPM fluctuation of about 500 rpm may be caused by at highway speeds? Cruise control tends to make it worse than just foot pedal throttle input. You can also feel the car going, then lurch when the rpms drop, then going, then lurch...over and over. I stop it after a few ti...

Re: Winter Tires?

I've had 16" General Altimax Arctic tires on separate rims for four winters now and bought 315Mz TPMS sensors off of Amazon ($32/each). These are SUPERIOR winter tires at a great price. I've had several friends with Blizzaks and they're not all they're hyped to be. They wear VERY quickly and do...

Re: new tires

Love the DWS tires. Had them on for about 2 months until winter came and I had to put the snow tire/rims on. Quieter than the Dunlops but the sidewalls do give a bit more, and traction is 100x better! An excellent choice, and don't forget about the high tread rating. Hopefully that equates to more t...

Re: Kizashi Paint Chip Problem !!!!

He probably means it chipped outside of the 3M area, but they can't just paint around the protective adhesive, so they have to remove that too. So far my hood has been repainted 3x. The first time the hood, front fenders, and front doors. Second time the hood because chips showed up all over within ...

Re: What color and wheels ?

That's actually a prototype that was revealed to auto journalists. That exact photo is at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.

That color and those wheels never made it to production, sadly. It is a gorgeous combination that made it look more Lexus-like.

Re: First time in SLS in some serious snow.

@Juan: That's the traction/stability control/ABS computer. You have to deactivate it by holding down the stability control button, otherwise it thinks you're slipping and sliding and trying to save your life! Be careful, that sort of stuff can wreak havoc on your suspension and wheel alignment. @Tod...

Re: A "Which Tire Question"

I only got ~12k miles out of the Dunlops that came with the car. Swapped them off in the winter for snow tires. Was very disappointed with their lifespan. Had the Continental DWS tires installed on Friday along with a four-wheel alignment...it's now Monday. Drove it on various surfaces and road type...
