    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    I agree with Sam1 and others how alignment is the main factor in why our 21" tires are prematurely wearing. Since I made the change with the shims on my car (after burning thru two sets of rear PS4s with only 8k miles each), my current PS4s on my car are now wearing evenly as they should.

    I ended up installing the Macsboost shims at the same time of putting on a new set of OEM T2s. I suspect this will be good enough.

    Plaid brake upgrade email?

    Based on what folks have commented on in this thread, I don't think it's that simple to remedy. But I am willing to try.

    Macsboost vs N2itive

    Yeah, I manually moved my suspension back to medium each time I got on the highway, but I still wore through my tires after 10k miles. I installed the Macsboost shims last month and now run in low ride height full time. Hopefully the shims solve the problem.

    MS LR Brake Squeak AFTER Fully Stopping

    This is the one noise that has consistently bothered me when driving my Plaid. Has anyone come up with a permanent solution? I'm not big on changing out the pads or rims anytime soon, and hoping there's another option.

    I've conducted numerous tests. The lowering is not based on speed... it is triggered when you enter onto a highway. GPS.

    Yeah, the conspiracy theories are getting tiresome (pun intended).

    Steering Wheel / Yoke option

    Interesting. The yoke is pretty wide. Is the wheel larger than other wheels, in your opinion?

    Steering Wheel / Yoke option

    Good question. Grabbing the sides with thumbs on top.

    Steering Wheel / Yoke option

    Thanks for the comparison. How about elbow placement with the wheel? With the yoke, my right elbow just reaches for resting on the right side, so I'm wondering if the wheel would be an issue.

    Plaid 21” rear tire woes - factory defect?

    Just a friendly reminder for those who prefer riding in the medium suspension on the highway (like myself for additional comfort), you can manually return the suspension to medium upon getting on the highway. The downside is you have to do that each time, which is a pain. (And could easily be...
