Mounted a set of Bridgestone Blizzak
Nearly new winter tires 275/45/20. The old ones were 18" Dunlop Grandtrek winters from 2003! Testament to the quality of these Dunlop tires, they performed very well in the snow and made little noise but were almost down to the wear bars.
I love to hate the Bridgestone winter tires. I did not willingly buy these, they came on my Cayenne and I replaced them almost immediately with Conti DWSs, which are great tires. The Blizzaks are way too loud IMO. But they are almost new and will do a good job on the kidz ride at least for one or two winters.
So, I thought whilst I have the wheels off, I can compress the brake calipers and drain the old fluid that resides in the brake cylinders. Oh boy, the fluid looked dreadful and I decided that I needed to do more, way more! Decided to drain the reservoir first and then do a proper flush. The stuff that came out still worked but it looked horrible. I admit that it had been way too long since I last did a proper flush on this car. My daughter complained my orange juice looked a little suspect :-)
