need help with tire / battery

PapoZalsa · 01-28-2011, 08:37 PM

The dealer doesn't warranty the battery, however it looks like too early for it to go bad. it might have factory warranty left. The tires with 19K?, Yes is time to change the tires most likely.

I have 18500 on my tires and they are done I'm going in the morning to have the new ones put on. I got the hankook V12 and went wider then stock. It was still under 1000

I purchased the Hankooks a few months ago and have been very happy with them. I checked the price for them on TireRack.com and actually found them cheaper online at discounttires.com (note the "s" in tires as this place is different than "Discount Tire Store".

I think that the battery is pro rated for 3 years if the dealer changes it

My stock tires have over 26,000 miles and I keep checking them because that seems high. Lincoln's head still isn't covered, so they still have life in them. Literally 99% of my driving is on the highway, so I guess they last significantly longer without starting/stopping and turning.

I'd like to replace my base stock tires with tires that will be as much quieter as possible. I'm not concerned about performance, etc. more so a quiet ride. Recommendations/

I had Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus on my '09 Z. They were quieter but you still had road noise in the cabin. The Michelin's didn't pick up rocks and gravel like the Yokohama's did so that was a plus.

My fun comes by blowing past people who stagnate in the left lane. Because my house and my work are both within ~1/2 mile from the highway, I don't get a chance for many quick starts. My car isn't warmed up by the time I get to the on ramp to the highway, so I can't even gun it then. I guess the tires like high speed, straight line fun.

If your cars over 2 years old from the month it was produced Id be concerned about the battery, if not then just be mindfull of your Z when it cranks and how long it takes. You can tell prob about a couple weeks out when your cars starting to take longer to crank.
