And when I drive the X and the wheels are getting dirty, before I drive it, I use my air compressor and blow the rotors really good. I find that by doing this, I either have no noise or slightly at best.
I concur with this. Mine was squealing like a pig and after I used my air compressor and blew out the holes in the rotor (wear a mask), I have very minimal squeal. This 2 min remedy is definitely worth a try
