I have a 2011

Looking to stick to around $750 but am for sure willing to spend a bit more if necessary. I just can't justify dropping $1,400+ on tires which wipes out a lot of the selection.

I am going on vacation in a month and really need a new set before we go. No towing whatsoever, mostly highway/city to and from work, I just want something all season and decent to get me by for a couple years.

First set I had on the car were on it from the dealership and the current set was from marketplace I picked up cheap to get me thru winter and now those are getting sketch lol I hate the fact I can see Lincoln's whole dome it's not ideal or safe, just hard times with the rising cost of everything it's a struggle.

Only time I ever put a brand new set on a car was my mustang and I was able to get really good ones for half the price of what it costs for this big SUV

I think my carpet machine is vapor locked

Anyone have a fix for this model? Sprayers are fine, filter is fine, its not sucking up water from the clean water tank whatsoever. I think the pump is fine but maybe it was ran out dry

I am getting SOOO frustrated beyond belief with some of my carpets. When I use my extractor machine, of course I overlap my last line by an inch or 2 and every fucking time I make a full pass back, it leaves a dark brown muddy line anyway and then I go over that one and it fucks it up again and its basically like having to redo an entire side all over again and it still looks like shit. I ordered debrowning agent but its not coming for another few days. I'm so irritated I want to give up. Help!

I am wondering how many gallons of water you all use to clean fully carpeted classrooms. I have a Tennant E5 machine (5 gallon capacity) and I am freaking AFRAID to use a lot of water to clean my carpets. I am so scared to make them too wet, even though I obsessively use the machine on dry only and cross hatch it in different directions and go super slow.

But when I use the putting water out and brushes button I feel like it sprays water down so much so fast. I question if one 5 gallon tank should be lasting half a room, a whole room or what...??? I dont know how fast or slow I should move.

If I move too slow I get too afraid its making the carpet too wet, but the brushes at least get more time to scrub.

If I go too fast, I feel like the water amount is fine but brushes don't get to work as well.

I don't know how many times I should be refilling the 5gal tank for average size elementary classroom. So anxious to make it too wet.

But it looks streaky every other line. So I feel like it needs more. Too apprehensive to keep going over where I still see lines of dirt. Help! I don't want to screw this up lol or have a chance at mold growing later (ptsd from a school I cleaned once and their HVAC broke late summer and made our carpets all mold, even ones we DID NOT touch with water yet!!)
