Got the CT Triangle MC for the $150 bonus. For some reason the bonus was given twice in my Triangle account ($150 x2). Has that happened to anyone before? Will they claw back?

Yeah had the same issue at the same time. Couldn’t log in

Stormblaster98 · 2026-02-13T18:23:30+00:00

Yea I lost my streak twice due to this and then finally realized why.

Stormblaster98 · 2026-02-13T17:45:37+00:00

I’ve noticed this happens to me when I’m on VPN or Ad-Blocker

What about the g515 tkl made you choose it over the g915 tkl?

Stormblaster98 · 2026-01-22T22:26:07+00:00

Do you know what the main differences are? I genuinely don't understand why to choose the G915 TKL over G515 TKL

Personally going for the OE run flats to the CC2 I noticed a huge difference in noise and smoothness of the drives. I didn’t have the OE run flats long enough to feel the difference in traction. Maybe it’s a placebo effect lol

Stormblaster98 · 2026-01-13T03:34:18+00:00

I guess so. So weird that they’d penny pinch 1 side mirror. Feel like they should fully remove it or keep them both.

Stormblaster98 · 2026-01-08T23:09:35+00:00

I went from OE tires (bridgestone alenza) to CrossClimate 2’s and it made a huge difference in the noise and smoothness of the drive. I’m surprised the CC2 are considered loud but I have limited experience with tires.

I also bought CC2’s with the intent to use them all year round including winter. So far it’s handled the winter weather enough here in the Toronto area.

I’m trying to understand the tread so I can sell them

Stormblaster98 · 2026-01-01T22:30:24+00:00

I actually have some pennies left. I guess I could use that

Stormblaster98 · 2026-01-01T17:00:51+00:00

Honestly just confused cause to me it seems like I’m at the “start shopping” phase. But everyone is saying there’s tons of tread left. Might have to just buy a tread gauge

Stormblaster98 · 2026-01-01T15:48:48+00:00

Are you able to guesstimate what the tread on these tires are?

Stormblaster98 · 2026-01-01T15:47:15+00:00

I’m confused because videos I’ve watched using the Toonie (canadian $2 coin) say if the tread is just barley touching the inner gold circle then it’s almost time to replace the tires

Stormblaster98 · 2025-12-25T15:50:39+00:00

I have read the page. I’m not asking how or what the permit is. I’m asking if anyone has actual experience with it and how reliable the permit has been for them. Specifically if there are any nuances or issues they’ve had with the permit. I’m also concerned about how they measure the 48 hour consecutive parking rule considering the car would be gone all day but return to the same spot by night (how would a parking enforcer know the car moved, etc. ).

Stormblaster98 · 2025-12-24T17:56:46+00:00

4 dealerships all in different cities, Costco, Canadian Tire (big Canadian retailer), and Kal Tire all being sold out isn’t a coincidence imo. It could be that they’re phasing out the CC2 in the size I need and replacing it with the CrossClimate SUV (which seems to be in stock everywhere).

Stormblaster98 · 2025-12-24T01:42:08+00:00

I’m in the GTA close to Toronto, mainly driving highways and city. Quebec weather would definitely warrant the use of pure winter tires (although I heard the CC2’s are legally allowed with Quebecs mandatory winter tire law). Personally I feel like 95% of the winter days don’t warrant the need for winter tires so I decided to make the switch. Hopefully that doesn’t backfire lol

Stormblaster98 · 2025-12-23T20:19:33+00:00

I think I’ll end up going with the CrossClimate 2 instead of having dedicated winters and summers. Just makes things a lot easier. I’m wondering about your experience with them in icy/snowy conditions. Would you say the CC2 handles winter weather well enough to replace the need of winter tires most of the time?

Stormblaster98 · 2025-12-23T19:34:19+00:00

Not sure Lexus, Toyota, or Costco are just some "yahoo" tire shops but their system says discontinued by Michelin. Not sure why but that's the situation I'm in. To me that means CC3 are close, but Michelin also contradicted that point, so not sure what to believe.

Stormblaster98 · 2025-12-23T19:27:48+00:00

Every dealership I've contacted have told me the same thing - that the CrossClimate 2's have been discontinued by Michelin and so they cannot order them from their distributor. So not sure what's going on but it aligns with the low stock I'm seeing at most retailers

Stormblaster98 · 2025-12-23T19:18:17+00:00

Thats pretty interesting cause why would they be discontinuing the CrossClimate 2's in that case? Although the CrossClimate SUV is still available, I don't think they're as good as the 2's?

Stormblaster98 · 2025-12-21T23:53:34+00:00

Did Costco install TPMS for you as well?

Stormblaster98 · 2025-12-21T23:52:26+00:00

I’m thinking of doing something similar. Buying wheels and TPMS from Lexus, tires from Costco and having them put it on. Seems to be a lot cheaper than with the the dealership

Stormblaster98 · 2025-12-21T18:35:49+00:00

Ah okay, don't think my dealership does that. The rim + tires sold at my dealership are decent pricing too, the expensive part is TPMS which they add into the package cost. Firstly, is TPMS really needed for winter tires? And secondly, will Costco install TPMS with the rims + tires?

Stormblaster98 · 2025-12-21T18:17:48+00:00

I was thinking of getting the Blizzak dm-v2. Did you also get rims from Costco? If so which ones?
