What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

Did they start putting the Kia badge back on the rear hatch now? Say a newer Scorpion this morning that had the newer Kia on the rear just like yours does. I can't see people removing the large Stinger script and replacing it with the new Kia badge. Although it didn't look half bad on that Scorpion.

I know the Canadian Stingers have the new Kia badge on the back, instead of the large Stinger script. Are you in a state that boarders Canada? I see Canadian Stingers popping up as used cars in the US--even low mile 2022 ones.

Not sure about Lord KOTL's car though...

As @Maljey said, my Stinger was originally supposed to be sold in Canada. Hence the slightly different badging on the back.

As mentioned in my 1st post here ever, she was bought as a technically "used" 2022 model (with only something like 250 miles on the clock, so by my counting, new for all intended purposes).

why go ps4? they have ten thousand miles lower treadlife warranty and cost more than the ps4s.

I like the even wear you are getting. mine tend to wear out on the edges first.
I ordered at Costco for the road hazard warranty and for whatever reason they only ever had the ps4s in stock for the front. I might buy those when my fronts are ready to swap out.

my sway bar was on stiff this past year. Not sure if that makes a difference on the wear. Just recently switched both f&r to soft.

Did you get everything in order with the warranty? I've read a few reports that Canadian Stingers won't be covered for warranty work in the US. Will you need to find a dealer in Canada for warranty work?

sounds good. I just talked my tire guys and was corrected, the ps4 does not have an inferior warranty to the ps4s, both are 30,000 miles, half in the rear of course if your running staggered.

I just ordered a new set of 255 michelins to match my still practically new 225s in front. the old 255s are shot, worse than shot actually, I just discovered belts starting to show on the inside edge of the LR tire.

you were right before. I just checked online and there is a 10k warranty difference.

Yes. I made sure the dealer would cover her under warranty. I did my due diligence on that.

huh. I wonder what he was looking at then, because I said the s4 was 20,000 warranty and he said no it isn't, I'm looking at it right now. maybe the s4 is 30,000 now? how old is that screenshot that you posted?
 
Put the summers on the other day… Much better with 295’s.

It was from yesterday morning. PS4 looks to be 20k warranty.

Rear lasted me 15k but that’s from the Jb4 lol

well aren't they clever at michelin, then. give a low warranty and then not prorate for a replacement if you get at least 10,000 miles out of them. but at least they do give a warranty. firestone does not, or at least that's what the same tire guy told me on the phone yesterday. he does not like firestone and never recommends them. but he does sell a lot of nitto and a korean tire called nexen. I thought that firestone undersold all others but it turns out that out of the three alternatives to michelin firestone is the more expensive one. not going there. I ordered another set of 255 ps4s because my 225s are still close to new and I won't mix tire brands. the stupid things are now $390. price will be $856.50 out the door. ridiculous.

295? Damn, that's a big one. What size are the tires? I'm guessing 20s? I have a 295 40 20 on my Ford Lightning, but that's on a big ol truck obviously.

Washed it, clay bar all painted surfaces, then gave it a spray ceramic treatment......right in time for it to rain.

Water bead check! That always sucks when that happens
 
this is what got replaced yesterday. was told to tell the alignment people to dial out the factory spec rear camber, that way I should see more wear to the outside. was also told that if I corner harder that will even out the wear. lol. I said that my cornering already wears out the front-left outer edge before anything else so that doesn't seem like a solution. I will look into the reduced rear camber though.
