Thanks Sandro both your set ups look good. Favorite is the bronze.
Thanks
Thanks the wheels are matte graphite
I had a choice when I went for it between Grigio with umber and the ionized bronze with black interior it was tuff because I was coming out a Grigio TL but the umber really is what sealed the deal. But I def love the Grigio it's a sick color.

These Z's need to be lowered. Nice wheels, but the gap between the tires and fender is very accentuated now with the upgraded wheel/tire. I think mugen_kid did it right.

I'm a new ZDX owner and I'm interested in debadging the rear — did you do it yourself (if not, what can I expect to pay)? I'm particularly curious about the Acura logo that's mounted on the rear window glass. Was this a problem at all?
Thanks for your help!

^^Wrong thread for this, this is for wheel fitments only! But I'm not a dick and will help you out for the rear A emblem on the rear window portion razor blade it off. The others on the deck lid needs removed by heating up with heat gun then use fishing line to cut through the glue from the backside of the emblems. Get a solution like googoo gone to remove the rest of the messy stuff. Good luck.

Honda Odyssey lowering springs work on the MDX and the ZDX has the same platform and suspension as the MDX....

Lowered 1.5" on Odyssey springs.
Though with IDS, I', not how this is affected.

I am a newbie to the ZDX. Been looking around, off and on, since I saw one in person several years ago. Now I have a 2010 TECH. Driving back from KC, the tire noise is quite loud. It has Michelin Latitude Tour HP's. Going to my "tire guy" tonight to have a look. The tires appear OK.
Anyone here familiar with the Michelin Latitude Tour HP tire?
The ZDX's shown here are beautiful. Mine won't challenge them that's for sure...

P.S. When I got my 2012 ZDX (15K mi.), the front tires were noticeably more worn than the rear. Since it was a lease, I just assumed they had never been rotated. But, this makes me wonder about the AWD power distribution. Even if traction was totally equal at all times among the 4 wheels, the fact that the front brakes do most of the stopping work would naturally mean front tires would wear faster, but I am nonetheless curious re: other ZDX owner's experiences (if tires were not rotated often)?

The Latitudes on the ZDX are all at 4/32nd's tread depth with the beginning signs of cupping on all four. Not sure I want to try and make it through the Nebraska winter on these things. They are uncommonly loud at this point, and very near end of safe, useful life. I am looking for a tire that's quieter and high tread life. As much as I loved the Conti DWS06 on the 2010 TL 6MT, don't think it's the right tire for the ZDX, nor for my need at this point. Any input/feedback from ZDX owners would be appreciated. A bit biased toward Continental currently because I really enjoyed the DWS06, so will be looking at other Continental options as I figure out with which tire to replace the Latitudes. On a side note, two comments from others in just a week:
"What the hell is that you're driving now?"
"That's something I've never seen on the road. What is it?"

Glad you are satisfied.
The local aftermarket Michelein dealer who did my installation (no real complaints, since service/price is usually OK) likely again did a slightly substandard job of cleaning all the alloy rims, since one tire looses air at a faster rate. I will have them dismount/reballance it when I return for the free rotation. I will stay with Michelein Tires nonetheless, since they appear to be one of the few remaining stable business enterprises that have not been bought out or compromised. I even have a set on my antique car that are reverse mounted (with a vucanized wide white wall). They are low mileage, but over 7 years old and still in pristine condition. I wouldn't trust another brand for the several more years I plan to gamble on them.

Rain, sleet, ice, snow and wind the last three days and the ZDX was superbly sure-footed. My wife sat in the back for the first time this weekend and checked it out back there. Looked at the center pull-down cup holder and promptly said there's never been anything placed in this...Needless to say, we love this ZDX.
