Om not going to read 17 pages, so sorry if my comments are redundant.
I went XLT
I hate machined wheels.
I didn't like the shoe fake-leather interior in the Lariat.
I don't commute in heavy traffic so I don't care about ACC (besides I actually like driving).
I find the sound system in the...
I had to notch the top of the board too to clear the tails of my X4S bed cover. So if your installing a cover, consider whether it intrudes in to the bed space.
Yeah, I know TR includes all the stuff. I've bought many sets of wheels from them. But since I swap wheels twice/year, it's still a PITA keeping track of the lug nuts sometimes. As for the adaptor, who cares? I have all the 1/2" drive sockets you could ever need :)
Aaaand looks like the Terras fit the Mav without centering rings. That's a plus! :cool:
Unfortunately the apparently still need different lugnuts though.
I think that's a very bad idea. Winter tires aren't just about going, they're about getting around corners too. With the weight distribution on a truck, you'll have great traction in the front with your winter tires and terrible traction in the back with all seasons.
That's a recipe for extreme...
I have found other wheels that have a similar vibe to the Sparco Terras. Method (expensive) and Motegi (TireRack). The Motegis aren't as cleanly executed as the Terras; I have a hard time loving them.
I'm currently leaning to Gray or platinum finish and this is my current fav:
Andros Spec Y...
Just realized that you may not have FX4. That's the graphic that TireRack uses for any Mav.
Still, the flower petal thing...
Must also admit that I'm strongly biased against machined face wheels. I think they're too fussy. I think that wheels shouldn't blend in (black on black), but they...
well...you asked.
I agree that offroad use demands more sidewall so 19" wheels don't make sense. Maybe you don't care about offroad use, but aesthetically, you have an FX4 and the wheel/tire combo should align.
Lastly, that flower petal design is....not working. Sorry.
While the blue logo might match the Ford blue logo, there really isn't any viewing angle that would allow you to see both and tie them together. And I think the Ford logo is a lot darker than the Sparco blue.
I'm not sure the Terras look "trucky." They look "rally." To the extent that trucks...
I would absolutely go for Terras if they didn't have that contrasting SPARCO logo. I like them in gray for my A51 Mav. And those have blue lettering. Can't do it.
Have to find something else.
I've almost always used Blizzak's. Nokians are harder to find.
I think I've decided on the WS90. Bridgestone has a truck/SUV specific Blizzak, but I don't see the value; they have the same load rating and they cost a bit more.
Best innovation ever from TireRack! I was happy to see the red rings on my last set after dealing with several sets of black ones. I do summer/winter wheel swaps on all the cars in the family. So that's a lot of centering rings to lose track of...
what color are the centering rings? I've bought several sets of winter tires from Tire Rack and all have required centering rings. I have accidently left one on the hub on more than one occasion. I'm now accustomed to checking but trusting a shop to do so is a different thing.
Best thing tire...
Only had mine for 6 weeks (364 days from order to delivery) and have about 1500 miles on it.
No issues at all. No recalls. I still have all the louvres in my grill.
Brakes can be grabby the last few feet of a slow stop. That's certainly the result of the program trying to maximize regen and...
Gotta say, like a lot of new features, I didn't really think I needed key fob remote start. But when it was hot AF this summer, I got decadent and used the hell out of that feature! I'm sure I'll be just as happy with it in the New England winter.
But I suspect I wouldn't bother to use the...
I have the Revolver X4S as well.
I'm in New England and don't have a garage. But I figure if I brush it off every day, the snow load won't get anywhere near being a problem.
As for the freezing problem, we'll burn that bridge when we get there 😆
I don't see myself doing a lot of hauling in...
