New Nitto's ordered!

I have roughly 56k miles on my Nitto's I bought back in 2009 so I hope the treat me the same.

My original Terra's didn't even get me 30k. The G2's are made MUCH better.

 

Speaking there of, it's time to have them balanced and rotated.

Mine still have good tread, but are getting small cracks. I wish they still made the original Grapplers. Hell I even called and bitched about it. They told me the tire molds were worn out and the G2's are an improvement. I will see.

I'm glad you have had good experiences. My dad had a blowout that will keep me away from them. We switched to Hancook Dynapro ATM and I got over 60K out of the last set on my truck.

Tires don't last long on my vehicles.  No idea why.

Thinking about changing my hot tub to a salt system rather than the silver ion I currently use.

I get down to the wear bars easily. Speaking thereof, it's time for s rotation soon.

Thinking about swapping my pool to salt water. I'm so tired of maintenance.

The AMG CL65 has a biturbo V12 and it's been around for quite a while. I did some brake work on one and got the opportunity to do a little... shall we say, spirited driving. Not nearly as much fun as I thought it would be, though.

I'd agree on the Benz 12, bummer that is the case.  Too much old man brewed into that car and setup.  I don't expect BMW to have that problem...but they have been surprising me the past few years in a not so pleasant way.

Also a bummer that Cadillac is building a 4.2TT V8 and not going to make it in a V form.  Going into the CT6 as a Platinum is the rumor, not as a V so the boost will be lazy.  If however it makes it affordable a tune ought to wake that thing up BIG time.

For a pool it is well worth it.

The upgrade for my hot tub is $1300.00 currently. I am sticking with the silver Ion system as they are very similar and when I upgrade my tub just add the ACE system up front.

Trying out Optum No Rinse. I probably will Rinse but after all the glowing reviews I had to try it. It will also be my clay bar lube as well.

Now I'm in the market for a "quick detailer" spray.

Meguiars Synthetic Xpress wax.  Nothing more versatile.  Hell you can use it in direct sunlight, on your glass, leather, plastic; anything but cloth.

BTW, car wash is car wash.  Only difference is if they have an additive like wax, or drying agents.  Buy cheap and ALWAYS rinse.  You'll find in several months the rinse-free wash will need correction unless you've used a ceramic coating.
