I have asked my daughter to bring the Forester to a tire place and have the 4 winter rims/snow swapped for the summer ones. Trying to get her to take on some of the responsibility of maint of the car as she drives it mostly even though its my car. She is 30.
I have asked when my wife went last winter to have the tire place grease the 4 wheel centering rings that are aluminum and go on easy in the fall and are impossible to get off in the spring. I assume they ignored my request. As the centering rings were difficult to remove in the spring and are getting beat up prying them off.
So I cleaned up the centering rings, filed off some of the damage from prying. I think I will grease the rings myself and put them in a ziploc.
So marine grease I use on boat trailer or Sil-glide for brakes?
I could swap the tires myself, but daughter needs to take some responsibility for the car she drives.
