Not sure which year model you are using on TireRack, but when I punch in 2018 M3 AWD LR, I do not have the option of anything under 98 XL load rating. Punching in a newer year M3 does show SL option. Also my door jamb shows 40 PSI, and the software on the car's safety/TPMS section is...

What does that mean? Offset of what?

I am asking because I was reviewing the spec of the 2018 Model 3 LRAWD 18 wheels and the 2019 Honda Clarity Plugin Hybrid Base (which also sports 18" wheel). They both use the same tire sizes (235/45R18), the speed rating and the load weight seem to be different, but both the vehicle are 4050+...

Wow, the sarcasm on this was next level. Thanks for that.

Be sure to keep an eye on the tire pressure. I used to run them at recommended cold temp of 42 PSI, but neglected to reduce the pressure in the summer. I had recalled one of my trips topping 47 PSI on a hot summer day. Never again. I am going to run 40 PSI going forward for an even wear.

I just went through this entire problem. same issue. same helicopter noise that was a result of wear. for me the wear was slightly uneven in the rears (the tread in the center was more worn), probably over-inflation. Just got new tires installed at 28k miles (my alignment was fine). Noise is gone.

Yes, noise is gone!

To everyone asking if this will cost me anything: NO, the nitrogen inflation is free and it will be DIY. I just want to make sure I don't damage the tires if I purge them down to that amount. Seems like it shouldn't so I will go ahead and do this today.

I just got new tires. They were not inflated with Nitrogen. I have Costco membership and will be stopping by to inflate with nitrogen. I keep reading that I should purge tires until 3psi and then inflate with nitrogen. I'm not feeling exactly confident about purging nearly 37 PSI out of the...

I recently watched a YouTube video which shows all three should be adjustable with the right set of tools! What am I missing? Here is the YouTube video for reference: The rears didn't wear evenly, one was slightly worse than the other, the tech did tell/show me, I just don't remember. There...

I haven't had them being put on, yet. Just came on Saturday. Figuring out where to take them for install. FYI, the new tires are 9.5~10/32 tread depth and look amazing. Going back to the alignment though, I think the alignment could be tweaked but I'm not an alignment expert here and posted my...

So my 2018 M3 LR AWD will be 5 years old this November. Recently started hearing weird road noise, which I thought was related to the recent work that they did (rear drive unit failed, they replaced it). I took it back (walk-in), had a tech with me on a test drive in my car, I demonstrated the...

Hi, You seem to be the only one here who is a NYC resident who was able to obtain a NYSTA e-zpass account. How did you go about doing this. I am in need of getting an NYSTA account as well. I am cancelling my PANYNJ E-ZPass account and preparing to get the NYSTA one. However, most people here...

Ok now I am even more confused. I will most likely get an MTA E-ZPass due to my address. I am not sure doing any of what i have done so far will be able to get me an internal green tag. Is there any one here who does have a MTA (it would read Triboro Bridges and Tunnels Authority or MTA Bridges...

Ok so I am in the process of closing my PANYNJ E-ZPass account. I have so far learned that there are three total authorities... PANYNJ (which has the $1 monthly fee) NYSTA (which is what the fellow above me has) MTA/TBTA (MTA Bridges and Tunnels Authority or now known as Triborough Bridges and...
