To the OP, if youāve accepted that wanting a tougher look means switching to an all terrain tyre and this will cost you noise, comfort, and economy, then Iād suggest just seeking out an objective review of tyres, to see how they stack upā¦
Same.
I got around 32-33mpg on my commute with the OE Continentals but after switching to the Nomad Gs, that went down to 29-30.
But it looks so much better and it seems thatās the price Iām willing to pay for looks.
On Monday, the car developed a whining, all of a sudden.
Similar to the sound of brakes dragging but manifesting as more of a hum, than a grate. It was attached to vehicle speed, not engine speed, it disappeared at standstill and didnāt show itself if you revved up the engine in park.
My mind...
I had this problem except my sunroof didnāt work either.
It was a dealer fix.
A loooooong, dealer fix.
Hopefully you donāt have the same problem developing.
Yeah, I got this in the post today too.
Odd, since I donāt believe my car has had the first recallā¦unless it was applied without my knowledge when it was serviced or when it was in for the sunroof repair.
No further damage to the filter, Iāll keep an eye before getting it replaced.
I also had a look under the bonnet to make sure there was no damage, that I could see anyway.
So, there must be a bloody epidemic or something.
Today, I discovered a dead mouse in the rear seat footwells along with a bunch of chewed up white stringy crap.
I check threads on here, then I check the cabin air filter and sure enough, itās all chewed out.
?
First service today, just an oil change and I omitted the tyre rotation as the new Nittos havenāt really been on long enough to warrant rotating.
I also wanted them to see why the auto stop start wasnāt working. Apparently a temperature sensor had failed. Iām sceptical.
Hello Ryan. Saw this video earlier today (been watching DSTV for a while) and was excited to see youād taken the Bronco Sport plunge.
Interested to see which tyres youāll end up swapping the Conti ATRs out forā¦tyres are a pretty healthy source of discussion around here.
I donāt initiate waves but I will return one.
I spot other Sports and Iām ready to return that wave. Usually though, theyāre in their own world, occasionally one of them will notice my wheels.
No waves yet.
It seems like dealers just arenāt that interested when it comes to front plate brackets. However, I thought theyād be somewhat more diligent in front plate mandatory states.
I have a novelty plate I wanted to fit so I asked my dealer for a bracket included when my car arrived. They were like...
Ever since researching my tyre purchase a few months back, Iāve fallen down a bit of a rabbit hole of all terrain tyre reviews, so this video popped up pretty much straight away for me.
Itād be nice to get a bulk objective tyre test from somewhere like Tire Rack or Tyre Reviews, covering the...
So far, the Nitto Nomad Grapplers havenāt disappointed in the snow, tackling our fairly steep driveway with no problems.
However, I couldnāt stand the grime any longer.
