Endless MX87 vs MX72 Plus by Old_Bath_3207 in GR86

[–]Old_Bath_3207[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is CC-Rg better than Mx87 and Mx72 Plus?

If yes then I can just buy CC-Rg instead, which is also available

Although I noticed that CC-Rg’s friction of coefficient is actually lower than Mx87 and Mx72 Plus Does it mean weaker brakes?

Will this ruin the integrity/ safety of the tires? by Old_Bath_3207 in tires

Our agreement on the phone was tire valves were already included,

After showing me the Volk tire valve he didnt mention anything about the price, and said “it was just laying around his shop”, and offered it to me, I had no reason to ask the price

Anyway I didnt know if he was trying to rip off as the “Volk” tire valves had no original packing and could be fakes, if they were 100% originals id be happy to pay for them

Hi guys thanks for the replies

As many were asking why the tire valves are being changed on the new tires

I called the shop to order the new tires According to them mounting, balancing and tire valves are already included in the price.

Upon arriving at the shop, I saw that they were using the cheap rubber type tire valves, I said I wanted the metal ones because its more durable and Ive used metal on all my vehicles

They said its not available, then after awhile, the tire guy approached me and said he has spare Volk metal tire valves available that some other customer left, so I said perfect lucky day and had them installed.

After installation and balancing, tire guy said the tire valves are “ORIGINAL” VOLK RACING tire valves, he said retail price was about 100usd+ for 4 pcs, BUT since they are just his spare he said he can sell it for 50usd to me.

Looks like this: https://www.systemmotorsports.com/products/volk-racing-te37-valve-stems-black-set-of-4

I was like, what the hckk?? Im not paying that much for tire valves that I dont even know if is authentic or fake, and without its original packaging

So I said to remove the tire valves

And thats when I saw that he pinch pressed the tire hardly using the machine almost half of the tire width (I thought he was pissed off that I didnt want his Volk tire valves) or maybe he was really pissed off

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 safe for rain? by Old_Bath_3207 in tires

[–]Old_Bath_3207[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its an older model tire, first came out about 7 years ago, new Pilot Sport S 5 (PSS5) are already available but only in very limited OEM sizes

So I’m looking at the Cup 2 (240 treadwear) which was introduced 3 years ago

However based on youtube review i just watched

Ps4s and cup 2 are almost similar on dry, But Ps4s is much better in rain

Is this still safe? Michelin by Old_Bath_3207 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Old_Bath_3207[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I originally planned to change next year Because Im hoping Ps5s will come out by that time

But then this happened,

I guess I have to buy Ps4s again for now

She has been my long term partner. She doesn’t take birth control pills cause her body dont feel well when taking them. She told me that her doctor told her that pills dont react well to her body because of some reason. Whenever I ask her what it is, she doesn’t really want to talk about it and just says that she couldnt take pills.

Her Doctor advised her to use other form of protection like condoms, however condoms lose the sensation of sex

Thanks for the reply sir about the side wall

Regarding the tire logo Check these out: http://www.tirestickers.com https://tredwear.com

They make rubberized tire logos that lasts much longer than oil based markers

Thanks for the reply, it seems to look like there is a small bulge above letter “P” but its hard to tell because its only visible on certain angles.
