I use Rain-X Latitude Water Repellency 26 and 24" on mine and they work well. In south Florida we get those random torrential storms and I have no issues with them.
The absolute best winter tire I’ve ever ran. You need to be very careful not to run them during warm weather when spring comes around, they will wear away like pencil erasers. I waited until late April one year and lost 2/32s of tread in less than two months.
Just put on new rotors and Hawk pads. Thought I had some squeaking/squealing/grinding because the old ones needed replacing but the problem persisted on the new rotors and pads even after some time.
Last week I applied some Brake Parts Grease that came with my Hawk pads to the pins and bracket on the caliper. It seems to have removed the annoying squeak!!
My old car was a Honda Pilot, we drove from PA to GA several times a year. I soon discovered that Honda OEM rotors were crap and they would warp after one of our trips. Finally gave in, bought some Power stop rotors and ceramic pads. Have never had a warp issue ever since.
Replaced them with some Depo lights from RockAuto. Plug and play again, and WHAM! Beam pattern? Lovely. Clarity? Perfect. Leveling? Works, but not even needed. They were good out of box.
I threw it back together with a high quality Victor Reinz brand head gasket, along with spraying the head gasket with permatex copper spray which would aid in sealing it with any imperfections in the surfaces... So far, it has not used a drop of coolant and the reservoir level doesn’t rise much while driving!
On my old car I swapped out the fog lights for some PIAA yellow ones and they definitely improved the visibility on poorly lit roads and in fog but the yellow took some getting used to.
If your car feels like it’s bouncing/bobbing sideways (I’m guessing that’s what you mean by “bubbling”), it’s probably due to the softer material used on the winter tires. I’m running a set of Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady and they show the same behavior. The effect will less noticeable eventually as the tire passes the break-in period.
Pirelli P7 A/S - nice but wore quickly, even on a Honda Fit. That, and the Pirelli A/S runflats that came OEM on the Alfa are the worst tires I've used
The water pumps i’ve seen leak a few times on the v6 hondas.
