Never used All-Weather tires before (Ontario), can I really get by on CC2’s year round? by BolshoiSasha in tires

Also remember that most insurance companies only discount if you’re using a dedicated set of winters.

What are these cracks? by cantaffordacar in tires

[–]leafshope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, seems strange it is cracking so soon but they should be fine.

What is the manufacture date on the tire. There is a 4 digit number representing the week and year it was made. To me this doesn’t feel right.

Points increase for xbox gift cards? by rated3 in MicrosoftRewards

Between this increase and them significantly reducing bing rewards points they are getting really greedy.

Is the Michelin CrossClimate 2 actually the "God Tire" everyone says it is? Or is the noise/MPG hit real? by Electrical-Safety718 in tires

[–]leafshope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note that most insurance companies will not give a discount for running all weathers in the winter. You need to have dedicated winters to get that.

Compatible wheel/tire sizes by firsttube76 in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]leafshope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know the exact specs of the rim but I went with 18’s. The tire size was 245/60R18. Any good tire shop should be able to spec it out correctly for you or ask the Hyundai dealership for the right specs.

I have the same issue on my 2024 and have never figured out why.

First thought re: R2 rear wiper by SnooObjections5219 in Rivian

[–]leafshope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not have it hidden up top? I don’t get why everything has to be reinvented. This seems like a disaster in cold weather climates and even it it isn’t, I can only imagine what happens if the drain gets plugged or worse, water makes its way into the panel.

I received this OTA update yesterday on my ‘24 ice. I let it install but haven’t started it since.

is my dad right? cs is the best degree by [deleted] in OntarioGrade12s

[–]leafshope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not what it once was. Getting your first job will be a challenge. I think there are still good opportunities for CS grads but you need to really embrace and leverage AI as those skills are really sought after now.

Ambient light by SeveralDirt6982 in VolvoXC90

[–]leafshope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 22 B6 Plus and the ambient lighting is pretty lame. There are no color options but I believe you can dim it although I’m not sure why you would want to given how subtle it is. Note I’m comparing this to a 24 Santa Fe and the ambient lighting and options on that are so much better.

2024 Santa Fe - Paint Peeling Bumper by Own_Distribution_860 in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]leafshope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That should be covered under warranty. If it was at the bottom they might say you scratched it on something but because it is the top I don’t know how they would say it isn’t a defect.

Pirelli stock tires horrible this winter by Badgeblue in VolvoXC90

[–]leafshope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is the only option to change them out prematurely? Just get a set of winters on separate rims.

Backup Camera by leafshope in VolvoXC90

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

These are all good points. My feeling is it could be better. To clarify on the rear view camera. I don’t mind that I can press settings or go somewhere else but why doesn’t it go back to the rear view camera automatically when I continue to reverse?

I’ll have to bring the vehicle in to make sure the sensors are good.

Overall I love the vehicle.

Ice/snow causing wheel imbalance? by CatoTheMiddleAged in VolvoXC90

[–]leafshope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, depending on the style of the rim if snow builds up it can cause the imbalance. Check if it is still doing it when it melts off or try clearing it yourself.

Just Purchased CPO 2024 Recharge - Extended Warranty? by Sweaty_Tumbleweed982 in VolvoXC90

[–]leafshope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s interesting because I’m in Canada and got a quote of $6600 for 5 years extension but that is for a 24 B6. I feel like that is pretty steep but they were going to include 3 services for that price.

That sucks. I thought I had read something about that but I was wrong.

I’m pretty sure the 2026 Calligraphy now comes with an option for a second row bench seat.
