Relaxing afternoon sitting in the sun, cleaning and decontaminating the Summer wheels ready for Ceramic Coating.

GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today
- Thread starter Kiwi Greg
- Start date
I think it's a bit more relaxing because the wheels are already removed and I can also flip/rotate them as much as I like on the wheel stand when applying chemicals.
I found them to be properly grippy, even in the wet. I tend to refer to the 'Tyre Reviews' Youtube channel to see what's happening in the market and he found them to be a solid all-round performance tyre.

Still leaning towards the Goodyears for my new wheels when they arrive. Although the way the weather is going, they won't be on the car until Spring. At least it gives me time to get them sealed and sensors programmed.
Applied Polytrol to the side vent plastics. Seemed okay for a first attempt.
Visited the Infinity Wax factory up in Glenrothes, where amongst other things, I collected a bottle of their Tyre Candy, which is super thick and really smells like strawberry milkshake

Using a thin flat artist's paint brush; the sort that you might find in a set similar to these on Amazon. Didn't bother with taping off, I just stuck out my tongue whilst I was doing it, which makes painting super accurate ...

I've attempted to do so however, 'computer says no!' If anyone can point me in the right direction I will try again

Not the GR86 thankfully, but my wife just got home and told me that she'd dropped the car keys down the drain.
After some questioning I found that actually she was being serious, magnet and string later and all is well, just a few more grey hairs.....

Well it arrived a couple of days later than expected (slightly cheaper than Fensport) and after someone mentioned their dealer refusing to use a Subaru branded filter during a service . . .
I'd suggest keeping the box if you're supplying your own filter.

Personally I hate the feeling of the stock Michelins. The Potenza Race make the car come alive, stock tires feel soft and sluggish in corners comparatively.

I have no issue with the PS5's but I've known Michelin for years so to me they are predictable. Next tyre will be another brand though, still thinking Goodyear for the new wheels.
