[Check Engine Light?]

I had a similar situation a month ago with 30K on the ticker.

Light on, light off, ended up they replaced an 02 sensor under warrenty at Crown MINI in Richmond.

Saw an add last week on NAM. around $49?

[Nitrogen at MoS]

I used to work with aircraft also, I recall that N is supposed to reduce the way rubber ages to some extent...( make tires last longer:top:)used it for years with no ill effects. I think it expands and contracts with temps less than o2.

If I'm wrong:questionmark:, this should bring the chemists out of the closet or lab as it may be.

[What tires to get?]

Thanks

original owner of my 2006 MCS loved them, could not say enough good stuff about them, no personal experience other than no problems since I've been driving the car,

[What tires to get?]

I am running Hankook Ventus V4es non-runflat tires now on an 2006 MCS and have almost 30,000 miles :motor:on them, they seem like a pretty nice tire for spirited weekend/work week driving, no track time but are close to needing replacement.rated 420 A:frown:/A $ 120 at sears. I'd buy them again, but looking at options.

 

Considering Goodyear F1 GS D3 rated 280 (sticky) AA:biggrin:/A $211 at sears because I heard the wet traction is out of the park:biggrin:, but Tirerack said they had some production problems that caused Noise after break in= 3 months for new batch with fix? anyone have these with feedback?:dontknow:

 

Also considering Michilin Pilot Sport AS Plus 500:questionmark: AA:biggrin:/A $160 at Tirerack.

Sounds like newer tech/ and also great in rain, even snow, say testers kind words ( top rated) at Tire rack . Anyone try these yet?:dontknow: That's where I'm leaning.

 

Also looking for a place to trust with mounting the tires up without scrathing up the rims, if anyone has a favorite MINI friendly local garage? Mach V?

 

Love your opinions, especially if you run same size...

When it snows:idea:, MY MINI Mirrors are warm in the garage:embarassed:

[Mach V Special of the Month: July]

Dan, do you /Mach V put tires on wheels also? if yes, where is your fine establishment located?
