New Type R (FL5) Owner!

One more advantage, if the tire does not last 50k miles, you get prorated miles on the new set.

The last set of Michelin PS A/S 4 lasted only 14k miles. I got the new set for 1/3 of the price. similarly with the previous set of Michelins.

I'd assume Continental will honor their mileage warranty similar to Michelin.

I was unaware they did this, do you have to submit anything online?

Here is a PIC of my DWS 06+ in 275/30R19…Very happy with them being an all-season tire.

That 30 doesn't give enough beef but this looks delicious too. Does anyone have a 275/35 pic handy?

I buy tires at America's/Discount Tire.

I did not have to fill in or submit anything to Michelin, though I believe that America's Tire did. they inspected for even wear, compute the mileage and discounted the new set.

No hassle, no arguments, and they did that for multiple sets on multiple vehicles.

Pretty much the title. Was thinking about fitting 275/35 R19 tires on the car. Stock suspension. Wanted to know if anyone has done this? Any rubbing? Should I stick to 265/35? Thanks!

Good morning FL5 family!

I posted this on Facebook, but didn't get any great feedback. I want to lower my car, but drive approximately 80 miles per day and don't want to ruin the ride or run in to rubbing issues. My car is currently on TALL tires and I love the fat sidewalls and comfort I get from the Cadillac specific TPC spec Michelin 4S with noise cancelling.

Wheel specs are 19x9.5 +45

Looks like a lot of people are commenting "Spoon" springs, but I have spoken to a handful of Spoon owners and they complain about the saggy look in the rear. I understand it is actually level from the jack-points, but I guess I care more about ride "quality" over just aesthetics. I think I can live with the "sag" if the ride is truly the best.

Sounds like a bunch of guys lowered on the H&R springs love the ride, but some wish it was lower, so I'm truly torn.

My tech said go Eibach or Spoon, but it sounds like those are the two brand he has the most on hand experience with.

Any feedback from those who have tried multiple spring setups is greatly appreciated. Planning on ordering my springs by Wednesday of next week.

Thank you in advance for any advice,

Mike

Wow thanks @zumbooruk ; that looks yummy as f*#k to me!
Ok I definitely will go that size next. I love meaty looking tires.

Took the kiddos and wife out for a ride, the first thing she said was my FG2's woosh sound was better lol, so sounds like I will be getting a BOV soon.
How is it even installed?

There are several threads, just gotta find them. Also keep in mind, not all tire manufacturers sidewalls will be equal.

Is it hard to install a BOV ? @Cueyo @zumbooruk

HKS I believe. I bought the kit used from a forum user

 

[gtimportfanatic]

Hks makes a kit for our car, you can install with the plumb back option if you’re stock ecu

It's just 3 bolts and a gasket afaik, but I've heard that going with a BOV over the bypass valve can cause fuel trim issues. I'd do research on whatever brand you intend to buy to make sure they don't mess with that

I have the COBB intake with OEM BPV. much louder intake and woosh sound.

but I do intentend to also replace the Honda OEM BPV since its rubber diaphragm design is not very durable.
