Yeah we get a combination of brine and rock salt depending on location. My T-Bird hibernates from November through April as well. I was kind of surprised that the one rotor that was rusted on was the front left. Usually the right side gets the worst of the road hazards. It was also the last one...

I just replaced my pads and rotors with the Powerstop Z36 Extreme kit. For those that don't already know, the rotors are cross-drilled and slotted and the pads are ceramic Extreme Duty. My pads were getting down there at 35K miles so it made sense to just do it all. I also bought the parts for...

I think I'll join you on that.

How many miles were on the Falkens, Mark? I had the same issue with inside wear that started around 15k miles. Despite rotating I had the same inside wear. I replaced them with the same Falkens at 20k and after another 11k (I'm at 31k now) there doesn't appear to be any uneven wear. My alignment...

With the sipe design it looks like it emphasizes snow traction perhaps in an all season compound without going to a full Blizzak snow tire compound.

It looks like you'll get some great snow performance out of those, too.

The color of the wheels is Carbonized Gray. There is a touch up pen from Ford in this color. One site says it's a match for the wheels but I can't say for sure if it's true. I have a few chips in my wheels and would not mind trying this...

Yes it seems as if Goodyear was not thinking of us based on the available sizes in the drop down menu.

No problem at all.

Bummer about the flat! Especially those moments when you REALLY want to get home. Here's that picture you forgot to take. If you need another angle let me know. I haven't had to use my spare yet so it's all where it was when it left the plant.

While I have the Falken option on my BL, I can say I did drive on the Pirelli's at the Off-Rodeo in New Hampshire and was blown away at how capable our little BS is. Now I didn't drive in snow but there was definitely a good dose of mud and rocks and the BS took it all like a champ with the...

The dash reading and my dial gauge match up perfectly. I would imagine that Ford would make this as accurate as possible given the fact that the Explorer/Firestone recall had a huge influence in making TPMS mandatory for all cars and light trucks after Sept 1, 2007. It would be foolish of Ford...

Is this technique something like manscaping? Perhaps to create the illusion of a bigger tire?? All joking aside, they look great!!:like:

ABS goes to work when it senses a wheel locking up and skidding. As Mark said, it'll grab multiple times per second to keep the vehicle from going into an all out skid. It does this far faster than typical human reaction time which is what makes it so great. It sounds like your system is working...

I just picked up my Badlands with the Falken 235's tire option yesterday and I, too, have the Pirelli 225 for a spare. I'm happy as can be with the vehicle but not too happy about the spare situation considering the option for the Falkens costs $495 extra for a tire that is cheaper by about...
