    Brake dust, repellent

    FWIW I spoke to a rep at R1 Concepts and they said they anticipated having a compatible pad for the 4BW sometime in 2023, since I was wondering about this same things and it now takes like an hour and 4 different brushes for me to really clean the wheels.

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    Update, after some hemming and much hawing, I opted to go with the the Michelin Pilot AS4's, 255/35/18 in the front and 285/35/18 in the back, since the 275's are unobtainium until well into the winter. Very initial impressions are positive. They are noticeably quieter and more comfortable than...

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    I'm hopeful if you had the same tire on a similar ATS and liked it. I had the original DWS06 on my G37x but wasn't a fan, but those were also squidgy tires with high sidewalls and the car was much less sporty in general.

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    Indeed, and avoid playing chicken with winter. I was accelerating onto the highway the other day when it was in the high 40's, brisk and wet and the tires were cold. I had a bowel-clenching moment at part throttle in third gear...

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    Thanks man. With a few exceptions in recent years, we don't typically get a ton of snow and I don't plan on driving in deep snow. I just don't want to be F'd if I'm out and about and it starts snowing on me. Wife has an SUV if we need. Maybe the right play is to get the Conti's and if the...

    Well now I just don't know what to do!

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    Thanks! Tbh once I install the AS tires I'm probably not going to swap them unless I end up tracking the car. Do you think the sacrifice in warm weather performance is going to be overly annoying on a street driven car?

    It looks like Conti makes the DWS06+ in the proper rear size, they just don't seem to have them on tirerack. Correction: It looks like they do -...

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    I had DWS06's (this was before the plus came out) on another car in the past and was not impressed with the performance. My understanding was that the new AS4's handled better and were better in snow. You've driven both?

    Winter Wheels and Tires

    I am in literally the exact same boat, same tires and all. I've had an order in on tirerack since August which was slated for 11/5, but now got pushed back to 11/22. It was already cutting it real close with the increasingly cold weather. Looked all around for Michelin PS/AS4 in the rear size...

    Rear Splash Guards for CT4V-BW

    I actually did buy a tool which ended up not having a slim enough profile to efficiently do the job, and also managed to break that first and only time I used it. Got it done but it was annoying and ugly. I fully acknowledge that with the proper tool it would have been an easy install...

    Rear Splash Guards for CT4V-BW

    I got these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08834LGH7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Didn't use the fronts because we have them already, but the rears fit pretty well. PITA to install though.

    AKG Audio.......

    I find the audio system to be pretty average. The system in my Genesis G70 was definitely better.

    Ticking Noise on 4BW

    Is it supposed to make the sound off idle? I'm pretty sure it makes it when driving at low revs...

    Ticking Noise on 4BW

    Thanks. That's kind of annoying that they would situate it where it would transmit a ticking noise to the interior. Sounds like its rattling the dash inside
