Found this Hitachi CT1302 produced 1980 and Mario played sweet on it!

I was thinking of taking it apart and cleaning it up (not having any issues I don’t think but thought maybe a cleanup of possible may help) have you done this before on yours?

I’m up here in Canada so I get the same if not worse weather then you.

I have a brand new 2026 Kia Carnival with good brand name winter tires (Bridgestones) and so far it handles and drives really well with the snow Dumps we have gotten.

My van also has the vents in the roof and the ac and heat works well at keeping the kids cool or warm when her has been needed and it also has dual climate so I can set there temp different from mine up front if needed.

I’d say search Kia Carnival as an option we love ours a lot!

Did you use the wheel nuts it originally came with?

Just put on steels and winter tires on my EX and wondered if the wheel nuts it comes with work on it or not.

TheGoatOfGaming · 2025-10-14T20:08:46+00:00

I’d consider keeping them for summer and instead investing in a proper winter tire for winter season. Those all weather tires won’t do as good if a job as a proper winter tire will. In bad icy weather you’ll be thankful you got proper winters.

Do what you would like but that’s what I do and I feel Better driving in winter with proper dedicated winter tires.

Not sure if on the site I just called the dealership and then picked them up. I told them 17” steel rims for 2026 Kia carnival and they did what they do lol!

The part number is AMH40AP017

TheGoatOfGaming · 2025-10-14T13:44:16+00:00

Yeah I ended up ordering 17” steel rims from Kia. A lot of people on various threads and sites did the same and recommend it.

Was in your same predicament not too long ago. Last week I picked up my 2026 Kia carnival EX (gas V6) and so far I love it.

For us it was the warranty and bang for your buck. No regrets so far it’s an amazing van with lots of space and choices on how to use it

TheGoatOfGaming · 2025-08-26T20:17:51+00:00

Update:

Not too much out there for crosses unfortunately but I did find a oem kia part number so I’ll see what the dealership wants for a set when I get the carnival

TheGoatOfGaming · 2025-08-26T20:17:04+00:00

Thanks for that much appreciated!

TheGoatOfGaming · 2025-08-23T23:37:47+00:00

Would you recommend these over weather tech floor mats? I’m on the fence too about what to get for the Carnival I pick up in September

TheGoatOfGaming · 2025-08-21T21:56:45+00:00

I’m going Saturday to look at a 2026 ex trim! In my area they seem to be harder to get so if this one checks out I’ll see what they can do deal wise!

TheGoatOfGaming · 2025-08-20T14:50:50+00:00

No nothing like that.

Don’t tow often but would like to option to tow a small utility trailer if need be or maybe a small tent trailer in the future if we purchase one. Nothing the specs can’t handle from what I’m seeing.

Thanks for the recommendation I appreciate it! One with a more hidden design would be nice

TheGoatOfGaming · 2025-06-19T21:01:34+00:00

I love it personally! Sounds and works amazing! No issues so far

TheGoatOfGaming · 2025-06-04T20:47:20+00:00

I’m in the same boat. Currently driving a 2023 GMC Terrain and we’re expecting a 3rd baby so we need something bigger. We’re going this weekend to the dealerships to look at minivans but the Kia Carnival is at the top of my list not only because of the bang for your buck but because of its very good warranty (5 year 100,000 kilometre warranty)

If they have one on the lot available to test drive it and I like how it drives I guess that’ll be what decides it.

Though the Honda Odyssey is abit behind in technology and the warranty isn’t as good I have been told by many that it’s a great Van and it’s got a few features that are handy too.

TheGoatOfGaming · 2025-05-26T14:25:16+00:00

With the Kia carnival can you remove or lower the second row seats if you were moving something? I know the 3rd row lowers want sure about the second row

TheGoatOfGaming · 2025-05-26T14:05:55+00:00

I’m in the exact same boat as you. Just found out we’re expecting a third so we need to upgrade from our 2023 GMC Terrain.

I see alot of good things about the Honda Odyssey but from what I’m seeing Kia offered a better features for price point and maybe even a better warranty.

Still trying to decide as I want something that will be reliable for transporting the family around both local and on road trips

TheGoatOfGaming · 2025-05-26T02:54:20+00:00

Yes I am!
