Aha, just stumbled across a video showing this tire issue with Taycans, Teslas, etc. It's due to excess negative camber(start around 4:15):
The reason I haven't seen this on the replacement tires is probably because I followed up the install with an alignment.
Yup, had the exact same issue with both tires on the same axle. Had plenty of tread and was shocked when I lost tire pressure on a local trip to find this issue was so severe i had to stop and fill the tire every couple of miles trying to limp home. I check my tire tread most trips to the gas...
Oil plug is nothing unusual but if you like to change your own oil, I recommend getting a Fumoto oil valve with the accessory drain hose. Makes changing oil mess free and a bit quicker.
I was one of the Costco returns...they should have had a poster or something to talk to different models and lift spreads. I love Costco but felt they simply offered the wrong model since it was too short for even a C-class Mercedes (it's a YT video.)
Hah, I hear you! I bought a Carly just to do the battery registration for our BMWs. But, I do find the Blackwing easier. I've changed brake fluid, changed rotors and pad, changed rear diff fluid, etc with the most basic tools.
I will share that it's been a struggle in some respects. The spread between lift points on a vehicle can vary wildly from model to model. My first QuickJack was too short for a V3 CTS-V. I replaced it with a 7000EXT which worked on the V3, too long for son's Camaro and Corvette that replaced...
Based on all you've shared, I would look into the online Cadillac dealer (James Black) known for selling the discounted GM Protection Plan. You will get a relatively good price and the same level of protection that came with the car from GM.
I've got a #44 vin from MY22 with about 40k miles and no brake issues (of course I've changed the pads and rotors once and brake fluid 2-3 times during the past few years.)
I think the track alignment specs in the manual give you the full range of adjustability? Should be able to pick what you want for the street from that (I don't think there' are published factory numbers and owners have reported numbers all over the place after their cars came off of...
Oh!! I do recall seeing a video of CTF Blackwing GM was testing on the Nurburgring and I distinctly member seeing a rear seat bar/harness for either a 4 or 5 point harness. I tried to find info on the setup for track use but failed at the time. It's was either the gray or black Nurburgring BW...
