I'm on some Continental Truecontact Tours right now for the same reason you are looking around. The OEMs suck at grip. I've really enjoyed these continental's so far.
It’s got 102,700kms on the clock and owned it since new. I’m still on my first set of brake pads.
I tried Michelin 3PMSF All-Weather (AW) CrossClimate2 (CC2) H-Speed rated tires and was amazed by the quietness, performance in deep snow, slush, wet & dry conditions. The CC2 provides better performance than both OEM and winter sets combined, returning the same summer/winter mileage on my Niro and 2004 Toyota Sienna. After 56,000 miles (90,000 km), I replaced them with a new V-Speed rated set. This second set is even grippier and more stable, now at 49,000 miles (79,000 km) with 7mm tread depth.
finally got r1 concepts put on about 5 days ago. drilled and slotted rotors. SMOOTH like butter
I have a 25 ev9 land on kumho's. Im at 31,000km and my tires still have lots of tread. I also have a very heavy foot
204k on my 2019! Just replaced the starter in the parking lot yesterday !!
I recently purchased 6 spark plugs from Amazon for my Kia Stinger GT2. I noticed that in the last delivery, one was different.
Multiple times yesterday the vehicle was sputtering while trying to start, all electronics in the vehicle were on, but the engine was between .3K - .5K Rpm\u2019s trying to start for at least 5 seconds. Then there was an intermittent phase where it went to around .7K but wasn\u2019t fully on, and once it turned on it went to around 1.2K. This progressively became more frequent over the course of a few months, with it first happening in a one off scenario a few months ago.
I had same issue with my 2022 kia k5 gtline. It started around 40k kms and took it to the dealership. They told me to replace the front rotors (OEM) and I did. At the time, it seems that the issue is resolved but after 15k kms the damn thing again started to shake. I took it to the dealership and again they told me to replace all the rotors. Fortunately, the front rotors was under warranty because I recently replaced it. I had to pay only for rear rotors and labour. Then after 8k kms this shake again came. And I had enough, I took it to the dealership and told its not the rotors and probably something else. Then one of the technicians told me that because I have a history with damaged rotor twice, they are suspecting me????. Then I told them to do the diagnosis for the rotors which is around 160$(if rotors are fine). Then after the diagnosis they found that the rotor is wearing out faster than usual. And they replaced all the four rotors(OEM) for free of cost. So I guess, its the CHEAP OEM ROTORS from Kia causing all this issue. I will update the results, now its been 1000kms after third replacement of rotor. No issue so far. Now my car is at 80k kms. Never had any issues except this one.
Now, I just replaced the cabin filter on my (new to me) 2021 Kia Soul for the second time in 9 months and the new one which is a Fram, smells so musty and stale when it’s on recirculate, I might just replace it with another one to see if it makes a difference. It literally smells like stale moth balls. If I take the filter out and run it, smell goes away.
