    Battery replacement, then rough idle?

    I had my car in today for mnt at dealer (oil change). I mentioned that it's been idling rough lately. His first question was if I had replaced the battery recently. I had.

    Warped rotors

    Heads up, autoanything has 35% off Centric rotors and pads. Centric Premium rotors were $55 each, and Posi Quiet Ceramic pads were $34. Just under $160 after taxes (delivery included). I ordered the fronts. Rears were cheaper I believe

    How many miles are on YOUR 6?

    Just passed 70k. Put on a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports about 5k ago. Maybe it's in my head, but I'm starting to notice rougher shifting. Anyone else?

    91 octane?

    2014 Mazda 6 - 58k miles Been using regular 87 octane since I got the car. Yesterday I was distracted when pumping gas and filled with 91. Seems peppier. Is it just in my head?? Anyone notice a difference in performance when using a higher octane gas? Any downside if I continue using 91?

    Warped rotors

    Centric rotors @ $68 each (front) a good price?

    Warped rotors

    Did you do all four rotors or just front? I tried taking off the rears and couldn't figure it out. Fronts were easy to take off for me (done it a few times now)

    I'm liking the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires that you initially mentioned. You weren't kidding about the good reviews. Do you know if these are directional tires? Site didn't mention it
