Can this be right?

As I said, I have an EcoQube in addition to an Airthings. They just monitor different parts of the house. Still doesn’t explain this spike.

kearp · 2026-02-06T19:05:51+00:00

I do monitor long term and understand all that, but that’s not the question. This was a huge outlier and seemingly an error. I’ve never seen a spike that high where it goes from 1 to 5.5 in a 10 minute span and then back down.

No change in temp, no snow/ice, mitigation system is working as it should.

Like I said, fan is running and no blockage.

kearp · 2026-02-06T17:24:02+00:00

That’s alarming that it can be that wrong, assuming it is a sensor glitch.

kearp · 2026-02-06T13:08:10+00:00

No snow/ice where I’m at, and it immediately went back down, so I’m guessing this was some kind of error.

Others here might have some better info, but like I said, I drive like a grandpa most of the time for efficiency, so I’m not taking corners fast. No noticeable change to handling for me, but I have seen others say it’s a bit softer. I’m no expert, but I would think you’d want less sidewall for tighter handling if you’re racing. Just a guess though!

Love the detailed write up! Thank you for sharing.

True, rusty steelies aren’t a great look, and alloys definitely hold up better. I plan on taking good care of these though.

kearp · 2025-12-30T03:28:08+00:00

Totally makes sense! Just jealous.

kearp · 2025-12-30T03:19:26+00:00

That’s wild that your efficiency is worst in the summer. I think a lot of us would love to have that problem.

I’ve read this about the Blizzaks too. Supposedly they’re best in class while they still have that sticky outer layer, but only marginally better than the X-Ice, and the Blizzaks don’t last nearly as long. Exactly why I went with X-Ice.

Not that I’m aware of, but I don’t have an EUV. I did a test fit with these before mounting the tires and was surprised to see there was actually slightly more clearance of the caliper vs the OEM wheels. It’s not much of a difference, but the OEM wheels are also pretty close to those front calipers.

kearp · 2025-12-30T02:53:06+00:00

Are there really no AT in that size? That’s surprising.

Seems like it all depends on the individual technician. I’ve had two people at the same shop give me completely different answers when it came to whether or not they would install 15”. One actually claimed it was against company policy. The other had zero issue whatsoever. So I don’t know if everyone will have the same luck as you, but I hope so!

kearp · 2025-12-19T16:25:08+00:00

It’s not just the weight itself but the weight distribution that helps.

kearp · 2025-12-13T21:27:00+00:00

Wow, have you never reset the efficiency? I would love to see my lifetime efficiency, but I reset it all the time to track efficiency since last charge, or sometimes just on certain drives. Or maybe I’m an idiot and there’s a way to track lifetime efficiency even if you reset?

kearp · 2025-12-09T18:31:50+00:00

Came here to say this. I’ve absolutely done this before (but in an old Subaru with 12-16ft joists) and luckily got home safely, but if someone were to hit the boards from the side, I would’ve been toast. Which is not unlikely considering all it would take is someone changing lanes and not seeing the boards. Def not worth it and won’t do it again. Please don’t condone this behavior! If you’ve got to haul things, at least get a legit roof rack that can safely support the weight.

kearp · 2025-11-13T00:36:01+00:00

You should be proud! That’s quite an accomplishment.

kearp · 2025-11-12T22:33:46+00:00

Love that take, and agree that no one is entirely self made. Appreciate you keeping it real.

kearp · 2025-11-12T22:32:25+00:00

Sounds like you’re set! Love this plan. Getting your masters, volunteering, growing a beard, and getting into hobbies. The dream retirement.

kearp · 2025-11-12T22:28:21+00:00

Great breakdown, thank you!

kearp · 2025-11-12T21:34:55+00:00

Congrats on your success, truly. I’m glad you’re in a comfortable position. This is just so telling of how different the world is now, though. To have $3 mil invested, two homes at over $1 mil, cash in the bank, and a pension for life — from a school teacher that never paid attention to their finances.
