All this is under the assumption that you are flushing with a garden hose and not using a rad flush type additive product. Congrats on the purchase!

I'll use a garden hose to flush the radiator, how do I flush the heater core...? As a matter of fact, how do I flush the system at all? Haha.
Anyway, I took my car to the tire place and they don't fix studs there, so it will have to get done tomorrow. The vibration is 100% gone. I was right in assuming the non-balanced tire was causing it. I actually gained mileage with the bigger tire oddly enough, but I'm having to use more assist to get up to speed. I'll get RE92's once I get an alignment done and the overheating issue addressed.
On my way to the tire shop, it's 100F outside right now, and the coolant never got about 203F. Even at taking off up a hill. Just saying.
