    19" Winter Vs All Season Tyres - Midlands Wet Winter Weather

    I did 24k miles in a year on a set of Crossclimate + on my previous car, worked in snow when brand new fine but you didn’t get that feeling of invincibility a winter gives you, still some slip. In summer on hot days when pressing on I could get them to go off when warm quite easily. I had some...

    19" Winter Vs All Season Tyres - Midlands Wet Winter Weather

    Check out the Continental WinterContact TS860 S. Available in that size, the crossclimates are too. Winter Tyre WinterContact™ TS 860 S for premium sports cars They are a full winter with performance in mind. I’ve had them on a week, been quite mild but quite impressed. They aren’t as good...

    18” aero vs 20” alloys

    I don’t think they are particularly weak, I’ve had other alloys with low profile tyres buckle, have you considered the 19” wheel if that’s still an option? It looks like the 20” but a bit more tyre which combined with the softer suspension might be what you are looking for? I posted in another...

    Model 3 TPMS

    The M3 Photo Thread

    I managed to do 4 20” wheels with the bottle of C5 with a little bit to spare. Got a new bottle to do my other set and got the detailer to do the calipers. It’s amazing stuff, will post a pic of the Grey wheels coated later in the week, hoping the appearance doesn’t change, the silver wheels...

    The M3 Photo Thread

    New wheels are super easy to do yourself, it will cost about £20 for a little bottle, clean them thoroughly, make sure they are dry, quick wipe over with some panel wipe and apply the coating, it usually comes with the applicator pads and instructions. It provides a sacrificial layer onto the...

    The M3 Photo Thread

    Swapping to winter wheels/tyres. Storing the Grey wheels until spring. I would recommend ceramic coating them, the paint feels thin and fragile to me, love the PS4S!

    The M3 Photo Thread

    I’m the opposite! I’m fitting a set of the silver wheels tomorrow with Winter tyres on, i would swap them for Grey but can’t be arsed with taking the tyres off sorry! The glossy finish on the silver wheels is much better, I’ll see what the Grey looks like after a coating. I think Grey goes well...

    To be fair the faces are perfect but the backs are awful! If I had paid someone to refurb them and they came back like this I wouldn’t be happy!

    19 inch Tesla Sport wheels on M3P

    You Sir are a genius, the hassle I have had sourcing a set of 20” Tesla wheels and then trying to get winter tyres etc. Nice work! Is the offset the same or do they sit inside the wheel arch a bit more?

    19 inch Tesla Sport wheels on M3P

    What! I didn’t know that the 19” wheels fitted on the M3P? Did you buy the 19’s from Tesla? I asked and they wanted a Vin and then told me they don’t fit on the M3P?! Looks good and you have saved a lot of cash compared to the 20’s!

    Mustang E

    Reasonably priced! I just specced a long range to £58k. It’s a great effort but at that price point I think they will struggle. Imagine what the GT will cost?!

    New tyres soon-ish - any recommendations?

    Crossclimates are ok but in summer in my previous car they would go off and in snow they were ok, better then summer tyres but not as good as winter tyres. I wouldn’t recommend them on a performance car, especially a heavy one if you really like driving and pressing on, as a one tyre does all...

    20” Gray performance wheels

    I was mega impressed with them last year on my previous Volvo, I would have bought them again but they don’t make them in the 20” wheel size! You made a great choice!

    Good RHD all weather mats?

    Not yet unfortunately but I would expect some to appear soon! I’ve been scouring the Internet for floor liners too, I’m hoping weathertech will have them out before Christmas.

    Good RHD all weather mats?

    I have to disagree, carpet mats wear out faster then good quality rubber mats, are much more practical for wet/muddy/snow covered shoes and also easier to clean. Carpet does give you that premium look compared to some rubber mats but if you look at the Tesla (not available yet in RHD) rubber...

    Winter Shoes [tyres]

    I’ve bought these sensors to install on some 20” wheels, I will report back if they work! Tesla Model 3 2017+ Replacement TPMS Sensor Didn’t want 20” winter wheels but due to insurance it was the only option. I’m selling the PS4S tyres that were on the wheels, see for sale section for details.

    Leasing Model 3 by Salary Sacrifice.

    Mike it looks like you are with Zenith like me, they average the BIK out over the course of the term, hence £50. The closer to April you get the car the lower the figure will be. I’m hoping for a December delivery so will pay 3/4 months at the higher rate but averaged out it’s ok.

    I’m thinking the same as you Vanilla, The Wolf 2.25T trolley jack won the auto express test and is around £46. Does anyone know the ground clearance at the jacking points on the M3P?

    Good RHD all weather mats?

    The quality is top notch, I personally decided against the trunk/boot as no-one will see them and amazon specials will suffice but inside the car the WeatherTech will definitely going in! Alternate Flux needs to make some similar!

    20” Gray performance wheels

    How much did Tesla Uk sting you for the wheels? I presume about £500 each? Did they come with the TPMS valves or are they extra? Durzel I agree, I think you should have a choice of wheel colour, when I ordered they were silver, who knows what colour I will get but happy with the grey on a white...

    Michelin Pilot Sport 4S versus Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 tires versus Michelin Cross Climate+ ?

    I posted my thoughts on the crossclimates + in another thread about wheels recently, ok but I personally wouldn’t have them on a performance car. The Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 tyres I had last winter are the best winter tyres I’ve had, they were quiet, really good in the dry and much better then...

    Wheel Sizes - Practicality

    The V60 I had them on was around two tonnes and when you really got after it on hot days I could easily get them outside of the temperature window, some chronic unexpected understeer shat my pants moments! Under braking they would start to feel disconnected from the road slightly, almost like it...

    Wheel Sizes - Practicality

    If you are going to get separate wheels and tyres I would advise against cross climates, I ran them for a year on my V60 and they work in the snow ok but not great and on hot days turn to mush if you press on. I had Michelin’s crossclinate +. Then I went for a summer/winter set up, much better...

    Can anyone recommend a dog cover for the rear?

    Does anyone occasionally need to put dogs in the back of the car? We have a dog car but it would be handy to have something to protect the back seats when the pooches are in. I had a great hammock in a 3 series a few years ago, it even covered the rear doors so all the muck stayed inside, it was...

    Anyone ordering through salary sacrifice?

    During a lease you usually pay for the options you select during the term, or a large part of them so they are trying to add it as an option so they end up being handed back a performance version after 3 with a presumably higher residual value having already made an extra few k during the lease...

    Anyone ordering through salary sacrifice?
