Did you really have to ask that?RIT333 said:I-4 ?
OK, give me a clue - how can you tell that it's a V6 from those tires ? (Are they 19s, or is it the brand ?Terrain said:No, this is definitely a V6. Exhaust and tires give it away.
In one photo you can see OP on a tire... Optimo, the Hankook tires that came on the 19" rims, only available on the V6.RIT333 said:OK, give me a clue - how can you tell that it's a V6 from those tires ? (Are they 19s, or is it the brand ?
I can see the two pipes coming off the manifolds, now. I guess the 2 exhaust pipes don't split until at the rear, huh.
Optimo comes on the 18" series as well....My nox came from the factory with them on 18" setup, I switched out immediately with BS Dueler's though, I get a free exchange program on new cars being a bridgestone corporate repTerrain said:In one photo you can see OP on a tire...

Really? I was under the impression that ALL 18s got the Michelins. There used to be a tire poll on here... although it may have been wiped out when Snowitch became disgruntled.2010BlkGraniteNox said:Optimo comes on the 18" series as well

Anyone else get 18" Hankook Optimos?? Not that I don't believe you 2010BGN.

It is a SLT2 V6 with 19" Crome factory wheels&tires. They're hankook IIRC.
Some pictures are kind of the same, I just aimed to a different spot hoping to get better flash light.
I'm glad you liked them..
What impressed me to most is the exhaust pipe diameter is massive! Then the wheel drive shafts are as thick as a pickup and the main shaft is huge! Man this thing is build heavy duty.
The manifolds are front and back of the engine (transversal V6) and the pipes from the manifolds joins right next to the transfer case..
Aerodynamically I'm not impressed but I guess GM focused on areas that really matter for the average driver and driving conditions for a vehicle like this.. I can only suppose if this had been covered with trays and proper air management it would be quieter and possibly more efficient. Anyway amazing car, even from below!![]()
My Equinox came with Hankooks on the 18" rims.Terrain said:Can't find the old poll, but this really, really surprises me. I would like to hear from someone else who has the aluminum 18"ers and the Hankooks.
