And here i am running fancy summers all year around...

Almost feel like I'm missing out not needing 2 or 3 different sets to get through the year...

pride parade ass tires

Do they still do the D W S on the tread, as a wear indicator of 'okay these are no longer good for the snow, you can't see the 's' anymore', etc? I just checked my wife's set to make sure she's good for the snow, it's a convenient feature. Good tire overall btw.

ps I see you have the aerofabb skirts too, watch out that the screws don't fall out :x

did a compression test. this is a 2016 Golf Sportwagen 1.8TSI with 130k miles, tested at 1200ft above sea level:

1-2-3-4 ---> 144-141-145-143

so with altitude adjustment pretty close to 150.

first time doing this but thinking its pretty good for the miles.

this year prior to the test:
both front wheel bearings replaced diy
carbon cleaning diy
water pump diy
ac compressor and dryer filter replaced by Eurofed.

Overall car seems fine in spite of a life of tune and autocross abuse Oil consumption is around qt/3k miles, cruising oil temp now around 223-225f, up from around 217 when new.

Jake you’re funny lol

No more “DWS” in the tread. And yeah, I’ve converted all aerofabb’s screws to a rivet

Man I liked the DWS for that, but I guess it's easy enough just to look at them to determine the same thing. I need to get some inexpensive all seasons for the Mazda and it feels dirty

I have nothing but good things to say about any Generals or Kumhos I've used. Still not "cheap" but not Conti/Michelin pricing

Good to know, I was eyeballing the Ecsta Sport A/S because a 225/45/17 is ~$550 for the set and seems like it would be reasonable for the use case.

Check tires-easy man. They have general as-07s for like $145 in that size with free install, or dws06+ for $180 but with a $110 rebate and free install.

Hard to beat.

I’ll keep my adulthood thanks lol

 

[WeekendPacifist]

Adulthood is overrated. Spent my whole childhood wanting to be an adult, only to find out it only gets worse.

I have to pretend to be an adult because I certainly don't feel like one. My efforts to spiff up my Golf are in no small part a way to give TeenagePacifist the car he would have loved to have.

Currently shopping for an obnoxiously large Stüssy vinyl for my back window. How's that for a throwback?

Happy Friday.

Stack the current rebates for Contis through tires-easy or tirerack - I ended up with my DWS06+ set under $500 in that size.
