So, I've posted in the past that my '09 SH-AWD Tech has about 129K miles on it and that I thought I needed brakes, rotors, struts, tires and a timing belt.
Well...still need the timing belt, but I did get the brakes done and the new tires (Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 - OEM 18). Had the brakes done at the dealership and they turned the rotors, rather than replacing them...I'm totally good with that.
Anyway, the car drives and rides like brand new now. It is amazing how much bad tires and bad brakes can affect the ride of a car. I never knew. The tire guy showed me the old tires and how the tread had been "cupping". No wonder the ride was so loud and so rough!
Anyway, can't wait for my final commute of the week this afternoon. Going to test out the new skins!
