I don't remember and can't check now since we're on vacation, but some run-of-the-mill kit I picked up at AutoZone

Sorry, not Michelins, 245/45R-19 Pirelli P Zero All Season

Well, the plugged tire lasted, along with the rest of them, 32K miles and got replaced with another set of Michelins - the two I bought a year go and the two more bought right before the replacement

There doesn't seem to be such an option now that AA is part of the OS rather than a separate app. Besides, I don't want it disabled, I just don't want it to start uninvited

Unfortunately, no option ('if used on the last drive', 'always' or 'default') made any difference with my Pixel 8A. AA keeps starting up automatically. Was anyone able to prevent AA from loading as soon as you get in the car?

Phantom breaking happened to me a few times, triggered by just a shadow or a darker (wet) area on the road in front of the car

Wow, so simple and so well hidden! Thank you Deane!

Is it possible to stop AA from launching by default as soon as you get in the car?

Does anyone know how to stop the mobile app from serving the '(multiple) windows open' repeat messages when the car is parked in your garage, or, for that matter, if you just left the windows a crack open in a parking lot to allow some hot air to escape when the sun is blazing?

I had a screw in my front 19" stock Pirelli about a year ago and plugged the tire with a regular Slime kit. I'm still driving on this tire. By now it has almost 32,000 miles and the wear indicator is just about flush with the tread. I've had no problems with this tire. Granted, I only drive in...

My service advisor said that it's a software bug which will be fixed in the next update

The same problem just afflicted my 2+ year-old Touring. See here https://photos.app.goo.gl/uYnLdCFmvZxnPUzc9 Did the steering wheel reset twice - no luck. Also, the outdoor temperature is not being displayed correctly. Is the most recent software release (2.6.11) buggy?

I just posted on another thread that my temperature reading is not changing with actual conditions - it just sits there at whatever temp it displays after a reboot

In my Touring it stopped updating recently and is displaying the same temperature as after I reboot the car. Last week it was stuck on 24 Deg. C, after I rebooted the other day when it was cooler, it is stuck on 12 Deg. C. Any ideas why?

I've been using the portable charger that came with my Touring for almost 2 years without any problems. Just have a quality 240 V outlet installed in your garage. You don't need to charge daily if you don't drain the battery every day. I charge 1-2 times/week, depending on how much I drive.
