Hey came across this video from a channel I subscribe to on Youtube.

I have yet to see a video that has this type of information. Really well put together. I happen to know this guy (Don't let his age turn you off)...met him at a track event, and this guy is super humble and can definitely drive well to boot. I think I recall him mentioning that he races Spec Miata's Professionally.

I like to disassemble things.
Seems like a nice kid. Must have great parents.

He's now realizing what the rest of us fell upon almost two years ago now.

Has anyone else had problems with changing their cup 2's? Do any of you use these auto tire changers?

The wheel gripe is definitely valid. When I picked up my MY16R, the dealer told me not to bring them (tires/wheels) back. Just after delivery of my MY17R, I had a TPMS problem and asked if they (same local dealer), can they now handle the wheels? Sure, no problem. Waited over an hour for them to tell me they are taking the wheel to the nearby Mercedes dealership. They handled it no problem. I guess Benz gets a bigger budget. Found out shortly thereafter from my sales guy, this incident prompted this large dealership (AutoNation, who have been great to me) to get the funding to now get the right equipment. I knew from the outset that would be a problem, so I bought 2 sets of 6G wheels. I will put the CF in storage. Very cool tech, but just too much trouble. :headbonk::ford:

They are no different than changing any other wheel tire combo... a result of incompetent shops with techs that are not confident in what they do.
