What did you do to your mk7 today?

[AutoX_noob_66]

Flushed my brake juice as per manufaturers recommendation (every 3 years). Fluid coming out was the same color as OEM fluid coming in.

Mechanic told me today front brakes are 80%, back are 20%. Is this a normal wear pattern or did my last guy just skip the back 2 years ago?

Rears wear at half the rate. He didn't do rears.

Went to garden store to load up the gti with black mulch (bagged of course) and did some landscaping yesterday. I finished planting this morning.

What tires?

235/40ZR-18 MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4S DT1 XL, they were warm this was the end of the day

They're noisier than I'd think the 4s would be. I've used PSS in past and they didn't squeal at all.

The road noise alone is significant, I thought it was a wheel bearing for the longest. I'm not sure what happened in that turn, I only got one or two of those squeaks all day.

I bought four new MPS4's and I'm jumping on the two sets of wheels summer/ all-season tire train. For a short period of time, we see temps in the teen's so I'll use the MPSAS4's that I have that are about half worn for Dec-February/March.

I'm putting the PS4's on the RSE10's that I currently have and I need a new set of wheels for the all seasons. Of course, I don't need to buy them now, but there are sales out there so I'll save a buck if I can figure out what I want.

I've narrowed it down to:

• Hyper Silver APR A01- $253
• Bronze Neuspeed RSE 11R- $303
• Bronze Apex SM-10- $311
• Bronze Superspeed RF05RR- $319
• What else should I consider?

Help...I'm terrible at deciding on wheels.. I've used the same RSE 10's since 2018.

I always wanted RES 11Rs. the only reason I got the 10s is because I got a smoking deal on a used set.
