I have noticed that the front wheels get dirtier more than the rear ones. I have tested my theory twice after a car wash and the front wheels were far more dirtier in 2 weeks. They were almost black. Any clues why?

Also, I know winter is ending, but need some advice. Should I buy snow tires now that they might be on clearance? Also, if i want chains, would I put them only on the rear wheels?

Thanks.

 

Brake dust man.

 

No for the snow tires and I'd pay to see a Z with chains!!

 

Any solutions for the brake dust?

I avoid driving during the snow, but circumstances arise that I would have to.

 

Sometimes I find this place downright frightening.

 

Yep. Get rid of your brakes and go Brake delete.

 

The brake delete option is only on the Grand Touring.

 

There is a solution you can put on your wheels but I don't see how it can work but go ahead and try it. It is called Brake Dust Repellent it's a wax type I'm not sure who makes it.

 

Solution for non Brembo dust...

NAPA
blue ceremic pads

they also sell oem rotors, cheap.

 

No go for chains on the Z. Owners manual says so.

But if you do it, please take some pics as I'm sure we'd all love to see it.

 

Tire chains = don't do it.

Fronts get dirtier faster than the rears, that's a given.

 

You have the leprechaun version. They live in your wheel wells and sprinkle black gold in celebration when you hit the redline.

 

wat

 

your car uses front brakes to stop more than rear.

 

 

lol agreed.

 

Thanks for your help!

For the others, I'm nubee so I'm finding these things about my car as I go.....

 

Hawk HPS pads will reduce the dust about 90% and couple of coats of Wheel Wax will make cleaning them a lot easier.
No shame in being a newbie even though most people here think they were born with all the knowledge they need.
And BTW, Search pretty much sucks.

 

dont' use your brakes. just drop it into 1st. that'll slow you down.
