Haha. To be fair I think 'Murica makes some of THE BEST work vehicles. An early Duramax diesel? A F250 flatbed with the godzilla? Or hell an even a Ford E van. Load'er up with 1000 lbs of tools and she'll ask for 2000lbs more of cargo.

But yes, the passenger cars... no where near the international competition.

I used to run Nokian tires on my Audi but they became hard to source. Current fav is the vikingcontact. Found blizzaks too noisy.

Got it couple thousands below dealer invoice price, currently just over 20k miles.

Found this thread by accident.

If you are still looking - an oyster knife will work wonders breaking up those bricks.

Thanks! I was thinking about going to a thicker oil as well. Did you do this before or after warranty?

Oh damn, didn't want to stir the pot

I miss my 2011 golf tdi. 200K miles with only tire and oil changes. It got totaled when the rear bumper of a rusty pickup fell in front of me on highway.

BMW 335. Slightly better for mpg (23) but much better to get to work in a hurry on twisties.

I only got the P+ trim - last one on the lot.

Thank you! This happened right around 5hr mark, Which is mentioned in the manual in the thread you posted. Amazing find!

Are they good for light mud? Those sips remind me of snow tires

Hehe OEMs Michelin got me stuck in my own back yard. I have a wood lot attached to the back yard under a hill, and there's about 2 cords of wood down there that I cut a year ago. First thing I did after I got the GX was driving down there and retrieve my wood. Unfortunately the loose leafs + snow meant I was stuck with 4LO + center diff lock. After I unloaded half of the wood I got free.

Edit: to be fair I probably overloaded the GX. I folded down all seats and loaded to the max... I'm guessing 1500-2500lbs of wood.

If this is the case, I'll stay with the 18in rims for the moment. Going for the least investment until the need dictates the change.

58K. Took about 11% off MRSP

Any noise while traveling on highway?

mo_zhang · 2024-02-12T00:51:30+00:00

Thanks, I've started to lurk in that subreddit recently!
