I like Nokian too but I picked Pirelli because I think they're a quality tire.

I replaced the original Kumhos last year on my 2012 Journey 2.4l, also have a separate set of ordinary winter tires on rims. Bought 4 Pirelli Scorpion Verde tires and they are amazing, I never would have thought tires would make such a difference, they are super smooth for highway or city, even just going over bumps I feel a HUGE improvement from the Kumhos, if they cost a bit more I don't care to me they are worth it. Got an alignment and will be getting an alignment annually to protect these babies. Don't remember the cost though, around $800-900 all in? Gotta look for the receipt.

some day i really should learn to read...

see that's what forums are for, thanks guys haha

Had activegreen and ross change the oil. 1 day later oil change thing came on. Have read the manual 5 times to make sure I'm doing it right. Without starting vehicle. Push button to acc. Push button to run. Press brake 3 times slowly within 10 seconds. Push button to off. Did that 20 times over the course of a week. Wont reset and I'm annoyed, I know its only a small thing but...$&@#%#%@ stupid thing.

agordon, i had the loud sound problem at start-up. My dealership performed the TSB NUMBER: 08-048-11 REV. A and it seems to have fixed it. I really got the run around from the dealership at first and Dodge customer helpline was no help at all, if it wasn't for the assistance of DodgeCares, I may not have had my problem fixed. Funny thing though, I also had the heat blowing on the window (or feet maybe, I don't remember) at start-up but it only ever happened once, in January. The screen was not working and I could not change any heat or ventilation setting, turned off the vehicle and turned it on again couple times,,, no luck, so I slowly started pushing all the buttons on the dash but none of the buttons were responding, then as I was driving to the dealership to get them to look at this problem, I realized I hadn't pushed the CD eject button, i sure didn't think pushing the CD eject would fix the problem of course but I pushed it anyway and it worked! The CD ejected and my 4.3 screen and all the screen controls became operational again... weird. (and no it was not a home made CD) Had the TSB done in March and neither problem has re-surfaced.

Good luck adrijules! :angel:It's now been roughly 6 weeks and the sound problem has NOT come back. :angel:
