The powdercoated 20" are in this link. https://www.explorerst.org/threads/poll-oem-20-or-21-wheels.4102/page-2#post-54542

Someone here powdercoated a set of 20" black. I painted a set of 18" black.

I am still not convinced, but Europe generally has a much better road safety record than the US and Canada. Front fog lights are nowhere near as effective with the headlights on (full or DRL), so not having them on the front really doesn't surprise me. Cheers.

Okay, but the number of times that you would need them is likely very low. Hazards at the time are sufficient to ensure people will see you. I wouldn't be happy following someone with extra bright tail lights.

Why not just turn on your tail lights?

Oh, and less taxes too. 13% in Ontario.

Did you account for the exchange rate? $1600 Canadian is $1168 US, so about $500 less than new. Don't know if that is a good deal or not.

In Ontario, there is a fine for painting your plate.

I have used the parking brake on my 2020 ST every time I park it and I have never had an issue.

Thanks for the reply. It has done it from new (September 2020) and has not worsened over time. I just thought it was normal for a little fuel to get through while it warmed up. I will have to put it on ramps and observe a cold start from below.

And I only run ethanol free gas.

I can testify that my ST does a little snap, crackle, and popping when it is first started for about 30 seconds, then it settles down.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck. My wife and I only take the keys to the vehicle we are currently driving and leave the others in the cupboard. Each set has a house key, a key fob, and/or car key. Since you are leaving the fob in the vehicle, you could remove the door key from the fob and keep...

Couldn't you just use the spare?

I know they are AGM batteries, but even with no draw they will lose 1% of charge per day. Add on the background draw, cold weather, and it is not surprising that they would lose power fairly quickly. I stick a real battery charger on my parked ST every couple of weeks or so.

I think you need to do a little test. Drive somewhere at freeway speeds for at least 30 minutes and then back home. Then test the battery. I am going to venture that the battery will be back to 12.8. Short trips (10 minutes) slowly drain the battery, as the short run is not sufficient to replace...

Wider tires and/or stickier tires may burn more fuel than your stock wheels too.

You seem to have generally good driving conditions for fuel economy. My ST averages 19.5 mpg (US). I cruise on the highway and floor it leaving every traffic signal. I have lighter, narrower wheels than the 21" with 275s, and our premium here has no ethanol. Other than that, the vehicle is still...

All kinds of things effect fuel economy. Do you carry a lot of extra weight? Stop and go versus uncongested freeway, cruising speed (80 mph versus 70 mph), unnecessary braking (tailgating), coasting to an upcoming stop versus heavy braking, tire type, size, and weight, fuel quality (contains...
