Owner surveys. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...bber+HTS#Survey

Pump up the tire pressure really high - 40-42 psi should be good but check the max pressure on the sidewall and don't exceed that. That will help prevent flatspotting also - just remember to reduce it before you get it back on the road.

Stop being so sensitive. If you want the mirrors then install them. I have nothing against them or against anyone who wants to install them. I'll probably get them on my next vehicle if they're available. It is also a fact that you can adjust your mirrors to totally eliminate or almost eliminate the blind spot and you should always glance over your shoulder before changing lanes whether you have blind spot detection or not. Now can we all move forward?

There was nothing arrogant about my first response in the autolock thread. You asked a simple question and I gave you a very direct, simple and totally correct answer that for some reason you chose to totally ignore and then give someone else credit for answering a totally different question than what you asked. I've already promised to keep my nose out of the mod threads unless I have something constructive to add. It's not my intention to cause problems so I'll leave it at that.

And top off the fuel tank.

It is if you add "and glance over your shoulder". But I digress.......

I never said they were bad or shouldn't be installed. It's not bad to have a backup in case you forget to glance over your shoulder or your mirrors are not aimed to cover more of the blind spot. My point was that you don't NEED these mirrors to see what's in your blind spot. Some people imply that as justification for adding them and that's the part I don't like. I was just pointing out that there is an option to re-aim your mirrors to almost eliminate the blind spot that most people don't know about. I also understand that it comes across as criticism so I'll try to refrain from commenting.

No need for name-calling. You asked a direct question and I gave you the correct answer. Nowhere did you ask if there was an option to turn it off (which is the opposite of what you were asking for in the first place). I didn't even say RTFM (even though I was thinking it) so I don't understand the hostility.

Excuse me???? What part of "No" in post #2 was not an answer?

Be careful on the stabilizer if you have ethanol in your gas (E-10). You need to get an alcohol compatible stabilizer.

Great idea! Seriously - the only thing I object to is implying that you can't see what's in your "blind spot" without these mirrors which is totally untrue. I will try to stay out of future mod discussions since you modders obviously don't want to hear anything that disparages a potential mod.

So "I Don't Like It" equals "Big Pain In The Ass"? I think not.

The dealer was implying that he had used some magic type of paint sealer or wax that lasted forever. Which we all know is pure BS.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I just pointed out that the map light illuminates the glove box sufficiently for most tasks - something the OP probably didn't know. Why do all your mods have to be "worthwhile" or "necessary"? Why can't they just be for fun or personal preference?

If you WANT light in the glovebox you can turn on the map light - you don't NEED to add another light. If you WANT to add a light then that's fine. Just don't try to rationalize everything.

There's a difference between doing it for fun and doing it because you can't see in the glovebox.

I was dead serious. If you can turn on the map light and see into the glovebox just fine (I just tried it and had no problems) then why do you need another light in the glovebox?

Yes, it's very easy to turn on the map light. :shades:

If not all you have to do is turn on the passenger side map light.

Ecotec?!?!?!

The Michelin Latitude Tour HP that came as OEM on the 2008+ models has been great - no complaints whatsoever. The 18" version is only $128 on Tirerack.com right now.

And the owner's manual only shows one - the OBD-II port. If it was a kill switch from the factory it would be in the owner's manual, and it's not. That is aftermarket.

I've noticed exactly what folks are complaining about although it's not severe enough to cause problems for me (yet). The numbers tend to blend into the background at dusk.

Could just be that the outside air vent is open and letting more engine sound through.

I missed the part where you said you were in Canada. This is obviously a Canadian thing. They are not on U.S. vehicles nor are they in the U.S. owner's manual.
