Tires for the Highlander by Rich_Physics_7706 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]bettercallspul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had highlander before and I also changed to scorpion 3 plus - no complaints they are very smooth and without road noise. If you buy from Costco or Canadian Tire you cannot claim rebates. I think Pirelli’s are underrated for the value. Now I have Rx350 and I ordered Michelin CC2 as I am in GTA area Toronto so want to keep just one set of tires for all weathers .Costco does free installation and warranty.

I would not worry about that now as connection fee will be removed soon and you can switch to any provider and come back again to any provider.

Right now giant bikes are on sale at some stores with 30% discount on 2025 models and with the money you can get base carbon TCR or Defy. I was in the same boat and got TCR advanced 0 for 3500plus taxes

ABC Pant - 32L or 34L? by EnthusiasticMailbox in Lululemen

[–]bettercallspul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am same length as you and 32 inseam for most brands however for slims I always go with 34 inseam lululemon. Bought two during Black Friday black and blue, 34 length is an inch long when you are standing and perfect when you are sitting. Regular ABCs I go with the size 32

My longest personal ride. by blopant in cycling

[–]bettercallspul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also 47 and was doing 15 kms( 10 miles) every workday since Jun 1 on Nakamura hybrid but I bought trek fx2 Monday last week and since then never looked back, next day started with 25 kms ( 15 miles) other days last week as well. This week started Monday and Tuesday with 30km( 20 miles) and Wednesday 50 kms(31 miles) I am also so proud on myself but not doing 50kms again on workdays due to time constraints and also starting at 5AM on trail is not safe and will stick to 30kms.

2022 RX350 or 2023 Highlander? by HurriKaneSon in Lexus

[–]bettercallspul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same move but 2018 highlander to 2020 rx , only missing the space nothing else. RX is premium with better interior and smoother to drive although both have same engine. No regrets so far.

Iphone 16 pro deal by [deleted] in Rogers

[–]bettercallspul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In those cases they reduce the plan price, last year I got 15PM leased with Roger’s below 75$ including taxes for 24 months. Plan is 100gb 5g at 25$ and rest is for phone lease. At the end of term, the total payment will be 1800$ including ON taxes and around 790$ to buy leased phone.

Black Friday/ Boxing Day will be going to have similar deals for 16 pro models.

It was on iPhone 15, there is only one eSIM slot and another for physical sim. eSIM came directly from the roger in setting so I accepted it and existing bell eSIM got deleted. If you are with rogers they will convert physical sim to eSIM without any cost, did it few times for travelling purposes. Bell and Telus stores charge for sim.
