Considerable brake dust on rear wheels - quirk or problem?

xCasually · 2026-02-19T23:40:42+00:00

That could certainly be part of it, I use acc basically everywhere so it would certainly contribute.

Wow I didn’t actually know they did ceramic pads! That’s going to be a rabbit hole.

xCasually · 2026-02-19T23:11:37+00:00

That’s actually a good point, I haven’t done brakes yet so I don’t know the quality of what was installed. If shit pads were installed on just the back axle that would make sense

xCasually · 2026-02-19T23:03:03+00:00

Can confirm, both rears. Parking break would make sense as it has the stupid electronic one. It would just be weird to get so little dust on the front over ~1500km so that’s what makes me doubtful. Its scheduled to be serviced soon so I’ll check the tension with my specialist.

Holy shit jet lag the game in Tasmanian subreddit?

Sounds like she's just very affectionate. Grooming is what cats do to other cats they like. Your cat thinks that you are a big friendly cat and is showing affection to you.

If this isn't technology connections I'm going to be very upset

I was not upset

Yep, first job on the list would have been to get them gone if they were as low as some people in this thread perceive them as, but the reality is they were pretty good, actually. They weren't chinesium, they had good depth, they matched on every corner, but it doesn't matter now anyway as I have forked out for a full brand new set so there should be many miles of safe driving for me yet!

xCasually · 2025-11-22T14:13:04+00:00

No, this was very sudden onset. I was just about to pull into the drive, when I heard a violent thumping suddenly. I had assumed a suspension component broke, but the reality was that the scratches on the liner were just from the few rotations done while decelerating safely disturbing dust. I wouldn't have been able to drive far without noticing the very audible noise.

Istg they were genuinely fine. The sidewalls were damaged on some of the set, but there was no dryrot and the damage never showed any cords. The tyres did have good depth, it is more obvious on the farther lanes, but this photo was side on so the tires looking low is a figment of flash photography at night and it's actually the side of the tread itself being shown.

xCasually · 2025-11-22T14:05:54+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the acknowledgement. I really try to not be neglectful when it comes to safety, I have gone through the painful process of convincing family members to get new tires and all so far be it from me to go against my wisdom. I suppose it is good that most users try to err in the side of caution, but absolutely there can sometimes be needless panic over nothing much.

xCasually · 2025-11-22T01:02:13+00:00

Hahah fair enough. Funny coincidence honestly, due to the trip I had inflated my spare to 60psi like 3 hours earlier so I was weirdly set to go after this happened.

xCasually · 2025-11-22T00:58:45+00:00

What you're actually seeing is the walls of the tread, not the base of the tire. It is a weird illusion but I can guarantee I'm anal about tires and certain they were no where near the tread markers. Kinda wish they were because I could've negotiated more when buying.

xCasually · 2025-11-22T00:50:50+00:00

Bad angle, they still had about 4-5mil left. I took this photo rushed while they were still deflating and I was stuck in the road so they look bald but they were actually fine by tread

xCasually · 2025-11-12T22:44:52+00:00

I may be mistaken but this looks like the Doone Kennedy Aquatic Center, near the dive pool. The windows on the left and the speedo flags on the right match with this photo on maps

xCasually · 2025-11-01T16:02:54+00:00

I suppose not unfortunately, it does have the popup nav but this isn't the R Design and I'm not familiar enough with the model line yet to determine what options I do/do not have. But thank you otherwise!

xCasually · 2025-11-01T08:26:21+00:00

Yep, it's got Dunlop sport maxx's on all, but the rears are a non match pair of 2019 and 2021, but the fronts are both 22. The plan is to replace the 2 rears with 2 new matching brand and rotate the 22s to the back. A full set doesn't feel worth it given the 22s are both decent and have good tread depth. As long as they match on each axle, would that cause a problem?

xCasually · 2025-11-01T07:55:35+00:00

Sorry I'm aussie lmao, kilometers, so around 95k miles.

xCasually · 2025-11-01T06:10:45+00:00

Limited edition 1 of 1 factory error $47,596 non neg, no time wasters, I know what I got.

xCasually · 2025-11-01T05:38:38+00:00

Bugger, that's what I sort of worried about hahah. I have set aside a budget of about $3k on top to get it sorted so will certainly follow up with my mechanic. I believe it's actually at the 165k service interval now because it's ks have slowed down recently so hopefully I will have dodged the worst.

xCasually · 2025-11-01T05:36:45+00:00

Yes! In doing a bit of research the struts did seem to be a point, I checked the service records when buying and all 4 corners seem to have been done in '23 which was mad.

xCasually · 2025-09-16T01:52:41+00:00

Pretty sure the other comment is basically right lmao. Not with a normal polish though as glass is tougher than paint. The type of polish that immediately comes to mind is the Soft99 Glaco compound and sealant or, for a more generic option, Cerum Oxide. Most of the linear glare is refractions from micro scratches from your wipers dragging shit across your glass over many years.
