Will be switching when I start feeling fear on the roads. For now, I have taken out my JB4... need to take it into BMW Mississauga next week as my passenger power seat got misaligned (doesn't go forward/backward, but twists).
Also, I'll be posting this in the main forums, but has anyone had any issue with clicks & ticking sounds coming from the front end (sounds like its coming from the front of the wind shield and/or hood) when driving slowly over uneven terrain or small bumps? Also, when driving at regular road or highway speeds, and I go over a small dip/manhole, the front goes over it fine, but as soon as the rear wheels go over it, the rear wobbles and sways for a second before getting straight again. I've heard somewhere it could be the rear trailing arm bushings... Curious if any of you have experienced it in your cars. What's the general consensus on rust-proofing & winter paint sealants? Just hand washed it today: Last edited by skarl; 12-06-2012 at 09:47 PM.. Reason: Pics too large! |

Have you not been driving at night, when the temperature is in the low single digits, or even below zero? If you are running performance tires this time of year and driving early morning and/or late at night, you are not too bright.

Running Continental Contipro Contact all seasons. In freezing temps they grip very close to how they did when it was much warmer, def far from dangerous.
My car is a lease and I already have winters purchased for these rims and then i am planning to get new rims and summer tires this spring. So pretty much im just trying to put the miles on these all seasons while i can |
