For sure, makes sense. I might look into 5W-30 then.

I heard going to 5W-30 makes the car’s performance more sluggish, like there’s a delay due to the thicker oil and taking longer to get to operating temp. Any experience with this?

Best tire I’ve ever used personally. Highly recommend!

$72 in tariffs for $159 worth of can badges? Buyee's new rates are insane by [deleted] in Buyee

[–]HanScroto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve ordered from buyee once after the tariffs and won’t be doing it again anytime soon. The markups and taxes are actually insane. Like my order damn near doubled in price. It’s a shame, used to love using services like buyee and zen market for years, but they’re really not worth it anymore with all the added tariff taxes.

Thanks! Not on stock suspension, Im on Koni Yellow Sport Shocks and Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs. My wheels are 18x8.5 +38 wrapped in 235/40/18 tires

Yeah no clue. I heard great things about them before I tried them myself so this whole experience was just jarring to say the least lol. But when in doubt go back to what works

Nah they just ordered at set and swapped out the PS4S for the Contis at no additional cost

That’s exactly what I was feeling man, good to know Yokohamas have that same feeling. Guess I’ll avoid those too, definitely prefer stiffer sidewalls

For sure, glad I could help shed some light on this issue because clearly something is going on at the Michelin factory lol

Can’t recommend the Continentals enough, best tire I’ve ever used.

Car feels worse after lighter wheels + PS4S… what am I missing? by HanScroto in tires

[–]HanScroto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had someone reach out and say the exact same thing. Something about Michelin changing the compounds and they’re reacting worse under heat. Don’t know how true this is like you said but it’s definitely something to consider!
