• PLEASE! It is VERY important that this area is not used for the discussion of technical issues with your Stinger. This section is for posting about regional-specific things like Stinger clubs, events, local vendor or dealer recommendations, KiaStinger.com member sightings, etcetera... In other words, I do NOT want people to need to scour through several different sections to find answers about their heads up display. That's why there's a section dedicated specifically to discussions like that. THANK YOU!

I Agree with you, owners do not drive it like he did, but i would like to know why the Australian Stingers have Continental tyres fitted from the factory, where the US Stingers have those Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres, i am assuming it is because of the differing weather conditions the US experiences?

I think so to. I had pilot sports on my rex and thats what will be going on the stinger next time. Thanks for the vids keep up the good work. Hey have you got round to driving your vehicle yet? Got ones of those trickle chargers?

Have not purchased a trickle charger as yet, once a week i drive it, i think similar to what you were saying about your Stinger, i have been getting it washed at a touchless car wash, because i do not have the room to wash it at home, i would like to use that foam cannon, but not easy where i live, especially since the cold weather has rolled in, i would prefer to keep it clean with a waterless wash or detailer.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...

Me too once a week, every second week I drive it to work, had a few people try to pick it to pieces they don't know what it is .There's nothing showing "Kia" on it. But soon as I say the "K" word it starts.

I think they use the pilot 4 because of AWD and the snow.
 
Do you think the Conti’s are noisier or quieter than pilot 4?

I find the conti's reasonably quiet, I'd say those. My preference in the past was for a soft tyre like Bridgestone Potenza's liked those a lot.

No i work 12 hour shifts at a data centre for one of the big 4 banks. Permanent night shift - my choice. Just heard today they're rotating us to days and nights that will really FXXX me. So much down time here its awesome so I indulge my passion - The Stinger forum :D:D. Oh yeah and the Potenza's aren't cheap but the tyre salesman talked me out of them onto Pilot 4 sports- they don't wear as quickly. only got 43k out of the "Pottys".

Today the W bank crashed due to a data input issue. The bank said they did not know where the problem started but believed in came form the data centre around midnight. A suspicious guy driving a Blue Stinger was seen departing the centre shortly after the crash occurred. More news at 7
