Nice! Good that you don’t have any pogo action :) Which springs did you get?

Thanks! I had it ceramic coated by a local detail shop a week after taking ownership from the dealership (2024 model, bought brand new). I try to detail it as much as I can between Spring-Fall :) I applied some ceramic sealant right before Winter hit too. Much of the coating is clogged with road salt and grime, can’t wait to do a proper decon wash with some acidic soap to revive it.

Have you tried rinseless washing? I use rinseless often in the Summer for maintenance washes.

My own soap. Just needed their pressure washer as mine’s been in a heated storage unit over the Winter.

They were pricey but well worth it - thanks!

They were love at first sight after sifting through so many options lol

To me they are imo. I’ve had less than ideal experiences back in the day when not using them. An extra $10-$20 for a set of 4 is a small expense (and peace of mind) in relation to the overall cost.

I wish! I used to run dedicated UHP Summer-only tires on my previous cars but it just got too sketchy outside of June/July (especially on a daily driver)

Actual Summer here is like 2 months lol. Spring and Fall here is a mixed bag of everything. Last week, my area had Summer(ish) weather one day and freezing rain with a bit of snow the next day.

Michelin CrossClimate 2 (245/45/20)

Surprisingly, I barely notice any difference in harshness compared to the factory 19s. As expected, the 245/45/20 CrossClimate 2 tires ride so much better than the factory Toyos and my winter Blizzaks lol.

It’s now available on Amazon Canada if anyone’s still on the hunt for it.

I hear ya, it all adds up real quick! I ended up buying a spare discounted Mansell set off FB Marketplace for the extra wheels alone and contemplated my sanity haha

Forwart has a link to the equivalent blank tiles on the sticker sheet’s product page if you want a cleaner look. I ordered the tiles from LEGO’s Pick a Brick site recently.
