As you have iTunes you presumably also have an iPod.
Why not just plug the iPod into the Aux socket? I mean, it's what they were invented for. |

| I've managed to put a few hundred miles on some Michelin latitude cross tyres, and they are slightly (very slightly) noisier than scorpions, I'm getting 37 mpg, and they handle better too. OK I know i ... |

| This does seem to be a solution to one of the worse rattles. However I'm just wondering how tight that bolt should actually be? I gave mine a few turns yesterday, and it did, as others have already sa ... |

| Costco can't get them and Camskill can't get hold of them. The Michelin Latitude Cross is now obsolescent so you will only obtain them from someone who still has a stock of them. It's a shame as they ... |

| The sticker just inside the driver's side door specifies 235/65/17 H, but larger diameter tyres are all listed as V. My car is an 07 model, so this may have changed with later production. |

Be careful with speed ratings. The drivers 'B' post says 'V' rate as does the handbook for 235/65/17.
I was thinking of downrating the 'V' as it's a 149mph rated tyre and most AT tyres are 'H' rated ... |

For 17" wheels you need 104H, but for 18" and above you should go for 108V!
Don't ask me why, it's just what the sticker inside the drivers door says. |

I ran a set of Street Terrains last year, only got about 15000 miles out of them, so not very good.
On the positive side they did noticeably improve the handling. |

Just been to see one at the dealers, and they do look good, and have plenty of "feel good" factor to them.
A fairly basic spec 4x4 is about £32k, but then again basic spec is in fact pret ... |
