Hey all! I'm really lucky it hasn't snowed here yet - it has been cold and rainy most of the week.

Chris sorry, I never saw the post about your tires.

Is this a new thing you are experiencing? And what is your PSI, not the car's reading?

The only thing I could think about is just the fact that the weather is getting colder, which means your tires aren't getting as hot as usual and it's feeling different.

Is this your first cold weather with the car?

not really first cold weather, they just seem like they are??? plowing?? pressure on the computer message thing is at 24 psi, but it seems like it is always off from what my tire guage reads, almost 3 psi, not sure, the tread seems pretty good all around!! i hate the TPMS sensors they are a PITA for me. always need to check pressure..

Sorry Chris I was thinking the same thing, when it gets colder out the pressure goes down. And I don't know if the tire pressure monitor inside the car is 100% accurate. My Dad has a 2007 Buick Lucerne (almost the same interior as the 06-07 Montes) and he is obsessed with his stupid tire pressure monitor. He freaks out when one of the tires reads a couple of pounds low. I would check your pressure with a manual tire pressure gauge and add air if it is needed.

hey, everyone. im just poping on for a few, who knows when my pop says GO TO BED, lol. i cleaned our basement / family room ( where my 'puter is, btw) so that we could fire up the woodstove... it is so nice & warm in here, lol. and clean & tidy i also made up a weeks worth of chili yumm...

JJ, i forgot to mention earlyer, happy birthday to johnny!

justin, the headlights on my dad's commuter van are rediciously dim, we tried polishing them like you did with the scort ones ( nice, btw) but the ones in his van are just horrible, went from, like, 1/2 candelpower to mabe 1 candelpower at this point, imma see if i can find him some new headlight buckets in a junkyard that are better than his, so he can see at night... right now he would get brighter lights if he jammed a mag light in the grille, lol
