    Hello everyone,

    I have some general questions... So here goes! I am purchasing an 08 GXP with 40k on it.

    Question 1. Can I run one size tire all the way around without messing up the speed reading in the car? If so, what size?

    Question 2. Is there a way to run your high beams and low beams at the same time?

    Any help would be great. Hopefully I can help someone after I learn more about this car.

    the speed is only read on the front end, so you can run whatever rear tires you want.

    you can mod the wiring so they are on at the same time. do i know how? no.

    Thanks for the reply, I was told today that the dealer was putting new tires on it for me because the other ones were junk anyway. Sweet!

    Does anybody know how to mod the headlights for the low beams staying on when using the high beams? I guess the fog lights staying on would be ok to.

    What things should I look for, so I'm not buying a lemon?

    Check out the remote, if the buttons are hard to push, it needs more than a new battery.

    I want to advise that I'm not responsible for you doing the following if it doesn't work, its just a suggestion with no personal research behind it:

    To keep the low beams on whenever the car is on you could try splicing them into an ignition switched fuse using an add a fuse and some wires. It seems simple and should work, but like I said, don't hold me accountable if it doesn't.
