I got my new tires today from Costco and they (for $19) put the best of the original Continental's on a spare rim (Amazon: Allied 83B FWD Black Mod 17x7" 5x108 & 5x4.35, 35mm Offset = $74). Now I have two spare tires; a 225/65R17 on the aforementioned rim and the other, the OEM 215/60R17 that...
Front wheels of the golf cart were on the flat bed. The sides of the tires scrubbed the sides of the wheel wells, but didn't have to ride up them. This cart has low profile tires and it barely fit within an inch of what I could pull off. If the tire diameter is even an inch larger than these...
Original Continental ProContact TX 225/65R17 102H tires are just at the wear bars at 27,800mi. Costco $80 rebate on 4 Michelins starts Nov 17 and that's the day I'm replacing them. If all pricing was the same, I would have replaced them a month ago. I drive in piedmont NC mixed driving...
I have what was packaged as "full sized spare" which is significantly bigger than the donut tires you see as spares for some cars. It's a real tire and wheel (215/60R17). What I don't know is if the 17" wheel it comes on has the same width and offset as the 4 wheels the truck rides on. So...
It's time to replace tires on my '24 Hybrid XLT (going with Mich Defender2-225/65R17). I'd like to save my best "old" tire (OEM ProContact-225/65R17) and use as a spare instead of that less than "full sized spare" Ford marketed to me (215/60R17). Standard wheel size is 17'x7" w/ 5x108 bolt...
I did my first oil change at 1300 miles and the factory oil filter was considerably smaller than the MC910S that I replaced it with. I don't think you hurt anything by waiting until 3k miles, but I'd recommend you go ahead and change it. I echo other comments, yes, 0W-20 full synthetic and...
Anyone over 80 lbs sitting in the passenger seat often causes a squeak while going down the road. Has anyone else had this problem and discovered the cause and the fix? I'm reluctant to take the seat apart and just start looking around. Maybe someone more gifted than me has already figured...
I have two sets of ramps for my ATV; therefore, I used two sets of ramps here. With the Maverick's low tailgate height, I really didn't need the second set of individual ramps. I was able to put the cart in neutral and push it off. The Maverick is small enough that I could reach the cart's...
Thanks for the info. I think I found what you're speaking of (H&R Sport Spring Kit #51620=$499), but it appears only for the AWD Mavericks. I need compatibility with the FWD models. (perhaps they are, but the website is misleading)
Eibach makes a kit compatible with the FWD models for $335...
Exactly! Front wheels were pressed against the front of the bed. I needed the wheelbase to be supported as close to the front as possible so the cart would fit. If I turned it around, the front wheels would have been a couple feet beyond the end of the tailgate. I even took the air out of...
'24 Hybrid XLT handled 700lb golf cart 200mi. If the cart's wheelbase was 1/2" longer I wouldn't have done it. The tires' footprint just barely fit on the back of the tailgate. I was nervous about trying, but what's the point of having a truck if you don't do truck stuff? Yes, that's also my...
I find all sorts of lowering and lifting options. I would love to lower just the rear by 1.5" to make it level with the front. This will improve my opinion of its appearance and give me a slightly lower load height at the tailgate. Does anyone make a spring set to do just that? I'm tempted...
