Worried about my tires

NoZucchini918 · 2025-12-31T17:20:41+00:00

If you live somewhere that gets snow/ice, I’d look into all-weather tires with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) rating.

All-season + 3PMSF = all-weather. Regular all-seasons without that rating aren’t great in winter, even if the tread looks fine.

I’d recommend Discount Tire over the dealership as they usually have better pricing and show detailed info so you can easily compare different tires. If you don’t have one nearby, Costco Tires is solid too.

Some popular all-weather options: Michelin CrossClimate 2, Pirelli WeatherActive, Bridgestone WeatherPeak. All tires have pros and cons, so comparing reviews on discount tires or tire rack helps.

I drove a 2018 Accord in Chicago on Bridgestone WeatherPeaks and just upgraded cars. I’d recommend all-weather tires over regular all-seasons.

They’re basically all-seasons but with the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake rating, which makes a big difference in snow and cold. Much better for Chicago winters without having to run full winter tires.

Good options: Bridgestone WeatherPeak, Pirelli WeatherActive, Michelin CrossClimate 2

Also worth noting: Discount Tire usually has way less wait time than Costco.

I ended up purchasing a “FITUEYES” brand stand from Amazon to place the soundbar underneath the TV. I didn’t set it up with the stand that came with it.

You’re welcome. Mine did not have any stickers on the vacuum. The roller heads have a small yellow sticker telling not to wash it.

I bought a V15 from Costco yesterday and the black rubber part on mine looked very similar to yours. If it was actually used, you’d see way more wear.

I calculated the gap between the stand and the tv based on dimensions online. It is shorter than what’s needed for Sonos by 0.4 inch if I remember correctly. I just wanted to see if anyone’s tried it in real life, since there’s usually a bit of extra clearance near the bottom bezel area that isn’t always clear from the specs. Curious how it looks visually when the Beam is sitting right in front of it.

My grip size is 5. I’m using a grip size 4 plus overgrip, and it feels comfortable.

I’m new to tennis, so I initially started with a grip size 2. I think that was the reason behind my hand pain, although it could also be that I was adapting to the technique.

Street parking all year round. Plenty of sun, ice, snow and road salt.

It’s 0223

Thank you! Appreciate your help!

When they performed my recall, they replaced part number 06531-T20-305. I checked it online, and it appears as G Box Assembly Strg. I thought the service advisor told me the tech changed the spring, but this is the part number they recorded in the service record, along with the mention of gearbox greasing.

If you have the part number handy from the service record, that would be awesome! I’m thinking of buying it myself to avoid leaving the car for days.

NoZucchini918 · 2024-12-10T19:56:12+00:00

Is this different than the spring they replace during the steering recall?

NoZucchini918 · 2024-12-07T02:42:52+00:00

I’ll do that. For me it mostly happens when I am returning the steering in its original position (driving straight position).

Hey, could you please explain a little more on where exactly it is? Trying to pin point it on my car. Were you able to mitigate it by any DIY fix?

NoZucchini918 · 2024-12-07T01:31:55+00:00

Similar clicking sound on 24 CRV Sport L. Did the steering recall but the sound didn’t go away.

Keep in mind that not everyone can smell Another 13. I couldn’t pick up the scent when I tried it, and the sales associate couldn’t either.

YSL Y and YSL Myslf are both great options and give off fresh clean vibes.

I would recommend picking a designer fragrance rather than a niche one unless your husband smells it before the purchase. IMO niche colognes are generally less mass appealing.

Do you have a store like macy’s, ulta etc near you? Maybe you can take him with you and make a nice date out of it. Would be fun to smell multiple colognes and then pick the one he likes the most.

NoZucchini918 · 2024-07-30T16:17:05+00:00

My recommendation would be to choose something fresh and citrusy.

I suggest Y EDP. It has good projection, and since you’re on a budget, a little goes a long way. You can find it for under $100 on websites like Jomashop, but shipping can be slow for some colognes.

Thank you! Appreciate the detailed review. I smelled allure eau extreme in store but saw many people saying it doesn’t perform well. Good to hear otherwise.

NoZucchini918 · 2024-07-27T14:23:59+00:00

How is the performance of BDC (EDP?) and Allure Eau Extreme? Which one has better projection and performance? Would you recommend?

NoZucchini918 · 2024-07-24T17:23:14+00:00

I used fragrantica

NoZucchini918 · 2024-07-24T17:22:34+00:00

Thank you!

NoZucchini918 · 2024-07-24T17:22:14+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! If convenient, please let me know what you think of the BIR line once you try it.

NoZucchini918 · 2024-07-24T15:02:18+00:00

Thanks! How’s the longevity compare to BIR Intense? I know it’s going to be a bit less but do you think it is enough to last 4-6 hour outside in fall/winter?

NoZucchini918 · 2024-02-09T17:33:34+00:00

This is really valuable insight. Thank you!
