    Tire Rotation

    I cant speak for the run flats but I have had my tires on for 20000 miles and have not rotated them. They are still like new. I rotated the BMW's tires and they are cupped after 20000 miles. I believe it depends on the car. The XLR dosnt seem to wear tires so I dont rotate. The BMW on the other...

    Transmission shifting issue

    My escalade did the same thing. It even felt like the tranny was slipping. It ended up being a rear wheel sensor for the ABS. I guess the computer thought the wheel was spinning and reduced power. New wheel sensor and its fixed now.

    BlueStar

    I bought a bluestar last year. Same problems. Dead battery, connects sometime, sometime it doesn't. disconnects sometime, sometime it doesn't. many firmware updates. a lot of my time. Don't waist your money, or you will waist your time. I really wanted it to work but I finally sent it back.

    Spotting window trim

    GM sells a product called krytox. They can get it at the parts Dept. I learned about it from the Allante club. It is expensive but it works wonders.

    Happy with Sumitomo HTR Z III

    I have nitto's and are thrilled with them. Ride is better than the run flats and the price was less than half.

    Belt chirp?

    My x has developed a belt chirp. Mainly in the morning. It seems to go away as you drive for a while. It sounds like crickets. I had new belts last year. Any idea what to look for?

    Leaking Front Shocks????

    It looks like red to me but I guess it could be orange. My wife and I are always argueing about colors. All XLR's have Dexcool in them, and all newer GM' for that matter. Lets say it is a reddish orange color. They switched from the green{glycol} antifreeze years ago. It would not be...

    Leaking Front Shocks????

    It wouldn't be antfreeze. The XLR's is red. If your shock leaks enough you will get a notice on the DIC about it. My shocks were damp when I bought the car 3 years ago. they still are and no problems, drives fine, no codes. I wouldn't replace them unless the ride suffers. If one is leaking...

    Mute and audio input

    A lockpick would be good for that. It has a audio in that is switched on by hitting the Xm button twice. Works great for iPod input too.

    Best oil for XLR?

    I use Amsiol. it does test considerably better but a friend is a dealer so I get it at cost so that's my motivation. I ran Exxon 5 w 30 in the Allante for 320000 miles with no issues. In fact after I sold it . the car got a burnt valve and the mechanic called me and said you have to see this. He...
