Just got 4 new tires installed as well as the rear tie rod recall done. Car rides really nice now, and no more tire thumps, or vibrations. Got a set of Cooper Procontrol https://www.coopertire.com/en_US/tires/ ... 24794.html

The difference is amazing, Quiet, smooth. Going to be an even more pleasurable car to drive. I forgot how nice the Flex is.

Next up, a set of Powerstops. Hopefully I can find a sale on them, quite pricey. I had Powerstops on my 2014 and 2018 F-150 and the difference in brake performance between OEM and PS is remarkable. While the current brakes are pretty good, I know they underperform with the EB power under the hood. My very first Flex was a 2010 SEL EB, and I smoked the brakes and almost didn't stop the one time I really put the pedal down. I notice a bit of fade with the current ones too. I could really abuse the brakes on the F-150 after putting the full PS set on. The 14 was tuned and unlocked so it had no speed limiter, and I had gone well over 120 MPH a few times and was able to quickly slow it down without any brake fade, or warping. Got over 80K off the first set, second set was over 60K when I traded the truck.
