They were the Goodyear Exhilarate. My previous two sets were PS AS3+. My wife had been unhappy with the road noise on my last set and wanted me to try something else. I think tires tend to get louder as they get more worn, and also I discovered that I had a faulty tire pressure gauge. I was overfilling them which was causing more harmonics. I feel like the Michelins had better road handling, feel and a stiffer sidewall. (Not just because they were overinflated) The set I just picked up is the new PS AS4.

Looks like I'm gonna be getting a new clutch, Yea!!! My stock one is fine.. BUT looks like my RMS stb after I replaced the pcv. Nice.
So.. Might as well replace the clutch (even though it's not slipping) I've been stage 1+ since 2013.. Clutch and TOB were replaced under warranty when I was around 60Km ... I'm at 329Km now so might be smart before it starts.
iAbed for RMS. Remove clutch bleeder? Think I saw that on a thread somewhere. Axle flange seals... transmission mount.. (Credit card is gonna love this)
At one point I thought about going k04 but no longer... any ideas on a OEM+ clutch?
They didn't replace the fly wheel when the did the Warranty work on the TOB is that something I should look at replacing?
Anything else I should have Mario (mechanic) look at?
Starting a new job in a couple weeks and the last thing I want is to have to call in because of the car.

Your RMS took a shit after? I thought that the PCV was what caused that failure.

These are the blue tinted ones? How do you like them?

I just got tires too. General G-Max AS-05 on mine. I'm getting a rebate too. I wanted a high performance AS tire because it rains so much down here and I need them to handle it on the highway. I also used that tire on my AMG and I liked them. The Michelin PS AS3+ that were on there were getting so loud.

At 329, 000km I guess? Now it was probably leaking through the winter and I just didn't notice it... but since I did change the pcv (with a new diaphragm) and perhaps it's the warmer weather but the leak is more pronounced now. I'm gonna crack open the old unit and look at the diaphragm
I will have to keep an eye on that if I can remember in 9 months. I guess you could always do a blue one on the Drivers side and the OEM on the Pass so that both are heated?
Love em so far. I had 2x asphers on my Saab and they were great. The stick-on blind spot mirrors just aren't the same and I just got tired of them. The blue tint is pretty cool.

I have a south bend clutch. No regerts. If you upgrade clutch you might have a rattling flywheel. I'm used to mine but some find it unsettling.

The eBay company I got them from offered to replace them after I paid for shipping back...by then spring/summer was here and I forgot... I guess I could test them or reverse the wires to see if they work.. OEMs still work so I use those for winter
