I have one from Ellis Precision (black) and didn't have any problems with it in cold or hot weather. No frost bite or third degree burns! LOL.

Here is my thread on nearly the exact issue you're currently dealing with. I was in this boat less than a month ago! Need Advice (Tires/Balancing)

You and me sound exactly alike. After researching since July I finally pulled the plug on Toyo Open Country ATIII tires. Stock size, P load. I got them installed last week Friday. So far everything feels identical to the stock Duellers they replaced. MPGs are still holding steady at 18 mixed...

150 mile update. Still all good. Nice mix of freeway (70-80) and city driving with them. I don't think they're loud at all. And no noticeable change in MPGs and on road manners from the stock Duellers I had. A week from today I'll be heading up North to the Upper Peninsula of MI. Spending a few...

Got the new tires on today. Everything went smooth at the dealership. I’ll report back if I start experiencing any shimmys or wobbles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alright. I went to Toyota yesterday and scheduled an appointment for new Toyo ATIII tires next week Friday 9/24. With their Buy 3 get one for $1 it came out to approx $830. That includes mount, balance, alignment, some 2 year damage warranty and lifetime rotations. Not bad. So far I am pleased...

Here you go: ArcLightLEDs These are switchable between red/white. Upgraded models also have a dimmer switch that you can set before placing your lens covers back on. The dimmers are not accessible once you reinstall the lens BTW. I have the rear hatch lights sitting in their box yet. Probably...

I have a 2021 and she's a whiny little ***** too. Might be the placebo effect but after changing my air filter to an AEM dry filter it seems more pronounced. When I first started noticing it I was concerned. I spent the past nine years driving an Xterra with the VQ40 in it (nice vroom vroom...

Its so easy and rewarding to cause a scene at the dealership. I'm not that type of person at all. I could never do that at a respected local shop. Zero Fs given toward the dealership who sold me the truck and their outrageous charges for everything. I've never gotten to the point of "calling...

Right now it looks like I’ll be doing it all at my local Toyota dealership. They have a good deal on the tires I want and they have a Hunter road force balancer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I do recall during my research that there were quite some frustrations with the Toyo ATIIs. But seemed as if the problems were solved with their ATIII. I'm pretty dead set on this exact tire. I initially was sold on Duratracs, then KO2s, even Pirellis made an appearance. But Toyo ATIII came out...

I just checked my toyota dealers website and they are currently offering "Buy 3 get one for $1" with a total installed price not including tax of $752.80. Not bad. TireRack had them for $198 each. Plus tax and plus installation. Decent savings. I'm leaning this route right now. Seems like a...

I have a lot of pent up anger toward dealerships and dealership employees from years past. So zero issue imposing my will toward them. I have way too much respect and adoration for honest local mom and pop places to be "that guy" And I stay away from national chain auto shops because I know...

Thanks! This was a great read.
