Replacement tires for Seltos 2024

I am kinda lost with regards to choosing tires. Had my eyes set on CC3 but the reviews I am seeing are kinda mixed. I am in South Korea, looking of a set that I can slap on and forget. Doing a mix of urban and country driving as I do a little camping. Temperatures here go from 40c to -16c. Paved roads are good and of course we see heavy snow. The current contenders are Continental ASC2, DWS and the Michelin CC2/3. Which ones should I focus on? I like a nice quiet and safe driving experience. The current OEM Kumho Majesty do have some loss of traction on unpave roads.

Tascam MD grease

I have a TASCAM MD deck currently out

Of service. Partially disassembled as I was try to replace the dried out grease. The loading mechanism was pretty stick and often jammed up. Can anyone suggest what type of grease I should be getting? Old grease is white in color.

CC2 or ASC2

I know there are tons of others asking the same question. For my case I live in South Korea where temps can reach high 30c's in summer and -16c in Winter. Do a fair bit of highway driving. Do a bit of car camping. Am really caught between the two. CC3 is not available for my Kia Seltos 1.6Turbo. Which is the better choice? Current set of stock Kumho Majesty is at 56 000km. Thanks.

245/40/18 CC3 Sport

Am thinking of having the above as a replacement for my existing set of Kumho Majesty. The stock is 235/45/18. Any pitfalls?

Finished the resole using Vibram 8327 Woodstock and Ecostick 1816B Hot Bonding

Not perfect but good enough. Have limited tools to allow for proper finishing.

To or Not to

We booked a EV5. Awaiting it, however we are experiencing some buyers remorse. We have a 24 Seltos with 56k KM on it. Missus find the car getting a wee small for us two and dog, especially when its loaded for our road trips. Now tell me why is it a good thing and why we should cancel it. Lose about a $100. We can handle the finances. But it would mean another 3 years to pay off the car.

Birkenstocks resole.

My attempt at doing a DIY resole using Vibram 8237 on my missus birks. Trying to figure out a way to trim the rubber to shape using basic tools. I only have an orbital sander, having sold my bench belt sander couple years back. Adhesive is Ecostick 1816B. Double coats.

Sound System

How is the performance of the Harman Kardon speaker setup and its associated amplifier? Do the doors come with the necessary sound dampeners? Is this a DSP system?

Roof bars

Have anyone installed roof bars on their EV5? I am muĺling over the best bars to have installed on the EV5 we have on order. I currently have a Thule 7150 fix point installed with a Thule Force XT L box. Am looking for a solution that does not push the new setup height too much as I live in a apartment with basement parking. Exploring the 7206 wingbar edge as one possibility. Looking for feedback and alternative solutions.

Test Drove a EV5 Earth (Long Range) today.

This was the EV5 (it was the top trim with all the bells and whistles short of the GT line) that we took out. Took it on a 11km circuit of highway driving. It is quiet with most of the road noise coming from the 19" Kumhos. Steering was neutral. Couldn't do any U turns to check out the turn radius due to the set route. That said it wasn't as perky as my 1.6T Seltos (Maybe i missed the sound of the turbo spooning haha). Like the seats which are pretty cushy. Suspension was nice and didn't feel a lot of vibrations during the drive. Thought the massage seat option was kinda pointless. Missus was impressed that she made a booking for one. :)

EV Subsidies

Am shopping around for a EV and was advised to wait till the next tranche to be announced. Out of curiosity, used Gemini to dig deeper and found out that they might split the cost of a new EV into one where the cost of the EV body and battery is spilt with the battery being under a subscription model. Since it's from an AI engine, it's reliability is still suspect. Anyone know more to share? Thanks.
