Last weekend decided to do an oil&filter change. Yesterday, finally got around to installing the pile of rotors and pads that was sitting in a corner of my garage. Also put in fresh rubber inserts for the front guide pins. Already took care of the brake fluid refresh a couple of weeks back.

At the same time took off the winter wheels and installed 132s with a set of Michelin Latitude Tours in 255/50. Given the terrible condition of the roads this car has to traverse nearly daily, I decided not to fit the 87s/20s but went for 19s. To get the correct look I decreased the front spacers to 15mm and rears to 20mm to get just the right fill of the fenders.

For the rear I picked up a set of N0 spec tires which, to my surprise, sport about 20mm wider thread then regular 255/50s. When I was about to mount the fronts I discovered that one was a regular spec, the other an M0. Found a match for the M0 spec which is a little wider than regular but not by much. So, now it has Benz spec on the front and Porsche spec on the rear I have driven a bunch of these Michelins on different cars and these confirm previous experience to be correct. They are very comfy and produce very little road noise while tracking true and provide good grip.

This morning gave it wash and she is ready for the warm season.
