The problem is trying to buy 21" winter tires is very expensive. Plus the wear and tear on the 21" wheels over a winter season. Although the 18" wheels look "cop like" they really are the best bet for serous winter driving. One hit to the wallet for the full set of 4 with tires and someone is...

Well they are never going to look as good as the original wheels. Winter where I live is brutal so they serve a purpose and all season tires don't cut it. The gap is a little wider but again this set up is about safety and preserving the nice stock wheels.

Welcome. Lots of info on here about tuning,moding, etc. I think of the ST as a more age appropriate vehicle for us car crazy nuts.

Welcome. Great for towing! Lots of info on this forum. You came to the right place.

They will fit. I use those rims as my winter tire and rim set up.Here is a shot of the front.

So there really is no fix for the blue screen from what I am reading. I have received two recall notices on this issue but I have not seen the problem yet. Really don't want to hand the ST over to dealer for a problem I don't have. A 2022 with only maybe 8000 miles on it. Not sure that I will...

Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate.....Ask them to drop up a few hundred before you sign anything. In my experience, you will not be disappointed.

A battery tender under hood is standard in cold climates like the NWT. Similar to Alaska. Combined with a block, or oil pan heater, there are no problems in winter. Today it's -32C and if the car was not plugged in overnight I would only be reducing the life of the battery.

I have those on my ST. Perfectly fine, look good on the car and do their job.

So all the State Farm ads are BS then. All good until they have to pay up.

Forscan is software you download to a laptop. You can then make changes to the ECM to configure, remove or add features, etc. Lots of info on this forum and online about Forscan. Fordpass is just a app where you can start your car, lock, unlock and so on.

I had an old BMW with a leaking CV before. Made a noise when turning on that side. Went a few weeks before I could get it in. You should be good for a week. Just keep on eye on it. Without the grease it will come apart in a very dramatic fashion.

Same here. Has never needed top up in one year.

I am not sure what the weather is like where you live, but auto start does not seem to work in colder temperatures.Lots of short trips, followed by the car sitting over night in cold temps will push the battery into deep sleep.

The price on an extended warranty can be negotiated when at that point in the transaction with dealership. I have been able to do that a few times. I don't really see the point of extended maintenance. Never comes out cheaper in the long run.
