  1. My Journey is arriving in 10 days. I was pro-active looking for snows because of the odd size 255/55/19s. Just to let you know and hopefully save some of you time, the Dodge dealer couldnt find snows available. Firestone struck out, but Pep Boys found them from Tire Rack. I checked with Goodyear and they found four Goodyear Ultra-Grip snows. The other tire available is the Pirelli (zero?) snows. The Goodyears were around $210 each, and the Pirellis are around $196 each. I have run Blizzaks and Nokian snows on past cars. I have no reviews on the Goodyears/Pirelli on how well they are in snow.

    Any recommendations on aftermarket chrome wheels for the stock 19" tires?

    I got the 16" steel wheels with 215/70/16-Winterforce

  2. Just got a R/T and was wondering can you change the temperature readings to celsius???? Looked in owner's manual and I could find anything?? Anyone know??

    On my RT I use the steering wheel control on the left until "settings" appear then it can be changed in that mode

  3. Hi All,

    I hope on putting this in the correct Forum.

    I am the proud owner of an R/T FWD, no options other than Chrome Wheels (if this helps). With the colder weather coming, I've been using the remote start to warm up the interior (I know, I know... gas prices, yada, yada) prior to entering the vehicle. Rest assured this is only a 3-4 minute period... VERY little gas/noxious gases being emitted into our precious environment.

    Reading the Manual, there IS a way to turn off the honk, honk if you have the upgraded stereo. From what I understand, you have to change the setting for the "honk horn while locking" option. BUT, if you don't have the upgraded stereo, how do you access these options to change this feature?

    Thanks

    On my RT you can change the settings with the steering wheel controls

  4. Left the lights on this weekend. Went to jump it off, and for the first time I realized that the battery is in the wheel well. How in the world are you supposed to get to it to change it?

    Left wheel has to come off then there is a cover on the fender wall that removes for access if I looked at it right-a nightmare no doubt

  5. I just got 4 215/70/16 Winterforce tires that are going on steel rims from my dealer- paid $302 US for all 4 shipped to my US mail box

    I will listen to the chime & ignore the little light on the dash

    The tire size calculator says the speedo will only be out by + - .5 mph which will be fine as compared to the 19" wheels

    Thanks

  6. Picked up my 16' rims today-$480.00 taxes in

    I said no to the tire pressure valve stems as I will drive around in the winter with the light on -on the dash- not worth $300 for something that was not necessary until 2008(another government BS move) along with Ontario's Etest cash grab

    I'm getting wheel covers from ebay that look like the chrome spoke from my 2000 T&C so they should look half decent anyway

    Hopefully I wont need them until december

  7. 20000 klms & the 1st problem on my RT is the driver side window "xpress up" no longer works & because I'm used to it its a pain in the butt

    Taking to the dealer tomorrow to find a fix-so I guess I cant complain
