Simple answer - yes. In researching new tires for the same reason I learned from the local tire shop that the Toyota OEM tires are all low tread depth. The OT tires are only 9 or 10/32nds. My guess is it helps with fuel economy numbers and ride quality to sell vehicles.

We've experienced the same with multiple phones...

Cheers to adventure!

Glad to have you back!

Regarding the 1/4" 'foam' - I assume you are talking about the very loose woven fiber layer over the surface of the pleated filter? I have that on at least one filter, pretty sure it is both, but it has been a while. I believe it is just the pre-filter that is intended to prevent the pleats of...

Congrats! Appreciate your service and her support of you along the way. Way to spoil her!

Picked up new tires after one of the OEM Toyos picked up a 2" gash in the middle of the tread. :cautious: Falken AT4W 285/70R18s

When I had the Xpel PPF applied the shop initially said they couldn't do the headlights because of a hydrophobic layer that they run into on some vehicles. I kept pressing them on it because I feel that the PPF on other vehicles headlights is the only thing that has kept them from yellowing over...

I would certainly like to hear how those are working as well @rangertrace. The shop didn't have any availability that fit my calendar for today so I had to push to next Wednesday, otherwise I would have some firsthand knowledge to share about now.

I was trying to stay away from E rated tires for better road compliance. How have those been working out for you?

Good catch @incognito.gx A quick check and I found the below post from @TenaciV : "Just confirming that I was able to get the 285/70/R18 spare to fit without airing it down. Definitely can’t go larger than a 34” diameter spare w/o modifications. Trailing ground clearance is sacrificed and you...
