I got the HT51 and put it on one of my other vehicles a 2000 RX300. I put them on a spare set of steel wheels and onlt used them once back in March, They were on the vehicle for only 5 days as COVID hit and the ski resorts closed so they were removed and put in storage. The stock wheels have a...
Thank You!
I have also had my eye on teh Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S however they are a good bit more $. Might see if they go on promotion / discount for Black Friday.
Loooking at the WIldcat it seems to have a real agressive AT tread pattern. Just wondering if this is too much considering most...
thanks yes I thought a good bit about that... but was thinking I should still get 3PMSF for driving around Tahoe when there is snow but not at R2 levels.
Or should I forget teh 3PMSF rating?
Thanks, yes I have thought about that.. I was going back a forth and yes even though I will still need chains for R2 I would like to get a 3PMSF rated tire (or similar).
Are there any other All Season 3PMSF tires you recommend?
thanks for the post, I always found Michelin tires to be a bit overpriced. That is why I am looking for something like a General, Falken or Cooper which I believe are a much better value while still getting very good performance.
Thanks for the message. I also looked at the Cooper AT (forget its actual name) however it cost a good bit more, likewise the GOodyear WeatherReady. I am a huge fan of Coopers, I have them on two of my other vehicles.
Living in SF 99% of my driving is above 45F so a winter tire does not make...
yes, this is what I have noticed... I am looking at mid tier tires with good performance and they are a good bit cheaper comapred to tire rack or discount tire direct. The prices on ebay include shipping.
Hello
I live in the San Francisco bay area and am looking for a new set of tires for my 2012 Toyota Sienna FWD Van.
The tire size 235/60R17
I often go to Lake Tahoe to ski in the winter so would like an All Weather tire that has very good snow performance like 3PMSF. The Wildpeak is a 3PMSF...
HI
Any one buy from Giga Tires?
Their prices on ebay are insane, very cheap. I'm looking at a a quality well know tire and can't believe how much they are selling them for.
Hello
Parts of California have really bad air quality due to the current wild fires.
My car was covered in a black grey ash dust.
I took the garden hose and rinsed the car off. 6 hours later is was covered again.
Should I hose it off everyday or just wait a few days or longer and then wash...
I believe for this specific tire, the design is 100% Hercules.
From what I understand Hercules do not have any manufacturing facilities. They contract all the manufacturing out. In this case the Cooper factory manufactures this tire for Hercules.
what about 10W40? I have a 200 Corolla and posted over the weekend and I believe several mentioned to go up to 10W40. My car calls for 5W30 just like above and has the well known oil consumption issue.
Trim Lines Were
VE (base)
CE

I have the CE, It how power windows and locks, not sure what else it had over the VE (base model)... I think the VE had a 3 speed automatic transmission, mine the CE is a 4 speed automatic transmission.
I'm not sure how much I trust canned engine cleaners that claim to do the job of a full rebuild. Maybe use it at your own risk, but know that even if it helps a little, it's just a bandaid fix because the 1zz's issue is that there isn't enough oil drain holes, so the problem will return unless...
Hi All I might of misspoke.. I am not sure what the root cause is for the oil consumption. It may not be stuck rings but maybe it is.
It was mentioned above that it was the drain holes in the pistons that get clogged as well as unsticking the rings.
I don't mind running full synthetic, its...
