What did you do to your FX / QX70 today?

Its from the 3.7. I thought about it and came to my senses. It's ridiculous to buy the 5.0 exhaust when I can mod what I already have.

Also having a custom aluminum intake made so that I can get rid of that sound restricting hose baffling. It's going to be a big week for the whip!

Couldn't agree more. It is the best combination of performance wet and dry handling and low road noise. I went through many harsh NY winters without using a dedicated winter tires running on paradas. I guess the only complain if I have at all is that it does not last me that long compared to the other all season tires I had before. Not really a complain, I should say it is a trade off issue since most performance tires are of lower mileage life expectancy.

Lo and behold, introducing the replacement. Yokohama Parada Spec-2. Sadly though it is rated as summer tires not all-season. Still looks badass.

Cool looking tread, & not a replacement. It only came in sizes up to 19".

I only ran the 24's for like a week. I didn't really like them but couldn't pass on the price and wanted the temporary novelty. It was fun.
I had been running the 22" Giovannas regularly, but had a blow out a few months ago. Now been on stock 20's since then and until I find the ambition to shop for new 22" rubber. With 4 less wheels to trip over in the garage, I'll probably start some shoe shopping. Plus, I'm only wearing down the tread on my 20's. And my truck could need tires soon too. Luckily or me, I like the smell of new tires!

Looks great Andrew, brakes are nice and that is a nice boat you have there, looks like you set it up on the trailer well. I notice downrigger mounts on it also, ready for salmon and trout fishing.
