  1. I had these on my Volt for over a year and they are good in all our Michigan weather. Will chose them for the Journey when it needs tires. I currently have Falkens on it, that are OK. https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/general-altimax-rt43/p/18906
  2. I have a flip phone that goes in the lower center dash cubby. The wife uses the console side pocket. The side pocket, like JK said above, is on both sides. If you pair it to the radio, keep it in your pants, shirt pocket..don't text and drive.
  3. I'm with ya animal mother. I worked in Detroit. So just some symbol of the old big three is all I can do. I've had good luck with most. They just put a "stop driving or selling" on 60,000 Subaru's for potential of complete loss of steering. http://money.cnn.com/2016/05/13/autos/subaru-recall/
  4. Recently (June of 15) bought a cabin in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. It was a snowy and icy winter here. I put the Generals/studded on a 2014 2wd Crossroad in Nov. Honestly I was amazed at the traction in all winter conditions. Ground clearance helps of course, the Journey is good there. Snow packed ice and mountain runoff black ice, no problem. Some roads are extreme drop offs after the white line. In Michigan we could get by with just snow tires (studs are illegal). Would awd have helped, probably. But the fwd with studs was as sure footed as a mountain goat. The Perilis P7's go back on Monday. Should be a little quieter. Not that it was that bad.
  5. the lead acid battery technology is over a century old. Mainly unchanged. Thankfully their not too expensive for a better one. Hope its not your charge system. I ran mine down one time when I left an inverter on plugged into the middle row 12v socket. That one is always hot. Jumped it and have had no problems with it since.
  6. Yea my bad. Was thinking of my 14' Cherokee. It shows % to oil change. Journey does not show until it is time to change oil.
  7. I use the change oil indicator in the dash. When it gets to 25% I start looking for a deal on oil and filter.
  8. 2014 Crossroad at 28,000 I changed out the Kumho's with Cinturato P7 Plus Pirelli's. I pull a 1,300 lb trailer alot with the Jouney, the tires suffer.

  10. Toyo Celsius is a similar all weather tire with the snowflake symbol. No need to have 2 sets for winter. Not sure about 225/50/19 size tho.
  11. HP. Glad we can keep the world entertained with our mindless political and media frenzy. Who ever is "elected" will hopefully be made powerless by our dunderhead congress.
  12. I think that "back of console" 12v outlet is always on too! Ask me how I know!
  13. it's the new Audi. Your right dhh3, the taillights in the hatch are stupid. Another expensive Journey clone in my opinion.
  14. 38,000 miles on 2014 Crossroad. A lot of those miles are Detroit to Steamboat Springs Colorado. Heading west pulling a 1,700 lb 5x10 travel trailer. The Nebraska head/cross winds always put me at 14 mpg at 75-80 mph. the 3.6 never loses its power. It's a fwd and has studded snows for the winter. Pretty much a mountain goat in the Rockies until over 6-8 inches of unplowed snow then it makes a terrible snow plow.
