What did you do to your FX / QX70 today?

Ahhh, the modders chant. Don't forget you have to rock back and forth while you say it quietly to make it effective.

Double checked my air pressure with a tire pressure gauge. Today is one of those days where I am really happy I have two AWD cars with dedicated snow tires. Already seen a few cars do 360's driving less than 15 mph just trying to make a turn.

stopped at discount tires to get my blizzaks to 37 from 31 psi.

every 10 degree drop is 1 psi drop, I'm running 34 PSI at 20 F.

37 is what it is when they measured it....if it's a cold start from my garage, it's about 34, but after I get on the highway for 1/2 hour it gets to about 36 maybe 37 according to TPMS, which is about what I would want for blizzaks even wear and good gas mileage from asking the shop.

That sounds like the pressures I am running in my Blizzaks also. I set them at a cold pressure of 34 which relates to around 37 once I have driven on them for a while..

Yeah, I need to throw some air in mine as well, this single digit temp gets old fast...

^^ Sweet. Now bundle up and get it installed and then go for a test drive to warm yourself up :wink (2):

First time driving in the snow! Love how the FX responses to the elements.

 

[ocal21]

I tell you it's awesome how it clears the snow very easily.

My first snow fall last night and i was out driving. was like 6 inchs of snow? It made me decide i NEED winter tires next year for sure.. i was sliding everywhere. Snow mode helped alot!

 

[davidcarson48]

+1. I was out in about 3 inches of snow with a high water content yesterday with the OE tires. It was totally doable, but with TCS off, I could invoke a ton of wheelspin pretty easily. Made me wonder how it would do in a foot or more of snow without dedicated snows.

 

[GEE50FX]

Dedicated winters sure make a difference , in deep snow and especially on ice.

Installed V-LEDs Amber turn signals & some DIY resistors to prevent hyper blinking.

Also threw on the ski racks and skis. Getting ready to go back to school... last semester of college alas!

I don't see pics, video or even a DIY on it :confused.: :wink (2):

Parked my FX for her long stay outside. She will be parked for 5 weeks while I go on my vacation in the Mayan Riviera
It will be a good test if it will restart.

No optima? My bet is on no =)

Second. Lead acid batteries are weak sauce.

It has started the last two years when I left it, but seeing I had a starting problem a week ago, it will be iffy. My other vehicle I leave at the airport always starts.
