Good question! It has been a month since I swapped to my winter set up so I would not be confident providing anything definitive. I can say with some confidence that I have no memory of believing noise levels had increased. All that said, I probably have a higher "tolerance" for tire noise than...

Added black control knobs and a Create Carbon console cover - both procured from forum members.

Received my preorderd set today. All was shipped well packaged and with tracking. Easy install. These aren't cheap but they make the interior look a lot better in my opinion.

Are these part numbers for the left, middle, and right knob? Or are these for full sets?

Looks great! Are the knobs plastic or metal?

I don't think you can go wrong with this size. More sidewall for peace of mind. It fills the wheel well better but doesn't look 'chunky'. Bit of a sweet spot if you ask me.

So far so good - but we are talking very small sample size (maybe 500 miles before I had to put on the all-seasons). Never had any rubbing and the ride was better. Probably has to be some drop in performance, but on the street, I did not notice much of a difference. I suspect you might on a...

Yep. Stock suspension.

Stock height (should have noted that). I blew one of the stock Michelins after what I would characterize as premature wear and got a sidewall puncture in one of the replacements. Used that as an excuse to go this route - which I had wanted to do for a while. No regrets so far. Because I am not...

Had a set of Continental 275/35/r19 Extreme Contact Sport 2's mounted. The extra sidewall helps with the ride and I can't detect any noticeable drop in performance - granted, I haven't tracked it or done any autocross. This seems like a nice alternative to the stock rubber band tires for owners...

I installed a set of these a couple of months ago. I had never used/installed a rivnut before so it probably took me a lot longer to set up than it should have. Its a great upgrade and well worth the modest cost.

I just got a set of 275/35/r19 Continental Extreme Contact Sport 2 mounted last week. I think the extra width helps for the Contis that seem to have a lower "shoulder" than the Michelins. Absolutely no regrets and no rubbing (stock suspension). I was a devout Michelin fan for two decades but...

I guess this is how a dealer adds a mark-up over MSRP without technically adding one. But at least this way you get some (mostly) tangible add ons and mods that you might have accumulated on your own. I agree with the other recent posts - if it fits in your budget, pull the trigger. This car...

Touch up paint pen for sure will be better, but the sharpie (not just a black marker - an actual Sharpie branded marker) worked just fine for me. It is a good stop gap measure until you do something more permanent.

I am totally going this route when I need new tires for the summer wheels.
