Since when does speeding automatically make you a bad driver? Driving too fast for conditions is unsafe, but just speeding (without being distracted) is not. It is just a revenue producer for the local government.

It's been a few years, but I had a set put on my XJS after a snowfall where the car was sliding all over the place. A week later, while I was at work, it snowed about 14". There was a Dodge Dakota 4x4 in the lot spinning it's wheels. I thought, o !Removed!, I'll never get out. But the Blizzaks did the trick. Got out with no wheel spin at all. This y ear, I put Yokohomas on my XF. They did the trick, too.

I watched the video Joe-dot-com linked and there is a wrong procedure shown. When you retract the pistons, you should have the bleeders open. This will prevent the fluid from backing up into the ABS system. This is important since water is heavier than brake fluid and it, and dirt settles to the lowest point. You do NOT want either in the ABS mechanism.

I'm new to the forum, just having purchased a 2011. I had problems with the TPMS in my Lexus (which I gladly traded in to get the Jag). It turned out the problem was interference from my car phone charger. Bought a new, better charger (not the cheapest) and the problem disappeared.
