New wheels and tires installed today

That's sort of an unusual size for the tires. So that's like a 32.5" right? Wheels look great!

We got a new TSX wagon from the dealership as a loaner car. That was a pretty sweet ride. Sure makes my 2005 TL and her 2004 TSX seem old.

It is a somewhat unusual size but Cooper, BFG and others do make tires in that size. It's basically a +1 upgrade for full sized trucks. And yes, it's actual dimension is a 32.2" whereas a 33" tire is really 32.7 or 32.8". So it's a half inch smaller diameter and 1/2" narrower than a 285 (33" tire). I went to a 17" wheel specifically so I could run that tire size.

It's funny, we have only seen a few other TSX wagons on the road that weren't Acura loaner cars. It just goes to show americans hate wagons!

Thanks! My 4Runner has looked exactly the same since I lifted it in 2006; it's refreshing to have a slightly different look.

I did learn one lesson I should pass along. I am already loosing some of the stick-on weights on the inside of the wheels. There is a small amount of paint overspray that is causing the problem. I have lifetime balance so it's not a big deal, but I would recommend giving re-painted wheels a quick cleaning or sanding on the INSIDE to give wheel weights something to stick to.
