Replying to: dd123 (May 23, 2009 9:29 pm) Hmmm. So, you're on the highway doing 70 mph and the belt snaps, what's next? Wouldn't it be prudent to have the belt replaced according to the manufacturer's specs? |

Replying to: gerdie (Jun 18, 2009 2:02 pm) Have you considered the BF Goodrich Traction T/A 195/50/R16 V rated tires? |

Replying to: gerdie (Jun 18, 2009 2:02 pm) I chose Kumho's a while back because of price & ratings, vs OEM Dunlops. IMO, price was the only advantage. Dunlops were better in snow. Dry cornering w/ Dunlops is much more responsive. Initially, Kumho's are better in rain. Once a bit worn, they are no better than Dunlops. If you are looking for an alternative to OEM Dunlops, you may want to continue towards Goodyear, Goodrich, etc. Good luck. O15 |

Replying to: oldman15 (May 04, 2009 7:00 am) Even with 170,000 miles, I have never replaced my brakes other than pads. Pads were not Mazda. They're fine. In reference to the K&N filter, no issues of sensors. And I've had the K&N filter for almost 100,000 miles. I'm in So California and have not any problems that I've read by other owners but I have to think it's the climate and how they drive. Only big thing was a water pump at 80,000 miles and that's been it. Same clutch which I can't believe. The gearbox is smoother than my Speed 3. 6 spd turbo. The K&N filter gives a deep sound and if you don't care for it, you might not want a K&N. But I think it gives a "throaty, deep" sound which sounds cool. Hope info helps but I'm keep my PR5 til it drops. Good luck.
