Re: What tires are best?

I decided upon the Goodyear Eagle Sport all-seasons and the shakedown cruise was a round trip to New Orleans---touch under 2K miles. Solid feel better than the Dunlops, slight MPG increase from what I could tell, 80 MPH with excellent control, and when we hit a massive rain storm in Kentucky the rai...

Re: What tires are best?

Anyone have any experience with Goodyear Eagle Sports or Cooper Zeon RS3's? Haven't used a Goodyear tire in years except on the p/u truck.
Since I don't opt for a separate set of winter tires, I do need a good combination that's not too much of a compromise.

Re: Lets draw a picture of each other

Third Suzuki for me but first Kizashi. Wife has had two SX4's. I followed the development if the K through the automotive press and wanted one and was given a killer deal for my '13 SLS in April of '13 when they were clearing them out: $23K. I am a retired 66 year old gov't employee who still plays ...

What tires are best?

Time for the Dunlops to be replaced (and only after 18K miles!). So, any suggestions/experiences out there? I need a good wearing all-weather tread pattern and have had successes with Michelins but never with Bridgestones in the past. I plan on doing the 4 wheel alignment, too, at the install. Love ...

Re: Share your Kizashi issues and repairs

After 6 months and roughly 10K miles, including a 15 hour trip to N'Awlins, the only issue I've had is the CD player refuses to read any CD. Dealer is getting me a replacement. 15 hours of NPR was a little much but the Beatles remasters on the flash drive eased that considerably.

Re: My Kizashi's windshield is FRAGILE!!

Just had to replace a windshield due to a rock chip that could not be fixed with the epoxy treatment; it cracked when the treatment was being applied. I got out the door from Safelite with a touch under $500 and I have the rain sensor. Wasn't happy with the price and then my wife's SX4 just got a cr...

New guy here

Now in my sixth month of K ownership after wife owning two SX4's. Gotta say that I really love the car. I did a lot of research and longing before making the move from my Sonata S, which did everything I needed including free tires and oil changes from my local dealership. But, coupled with the move...
