I've not once felt my steering wheel was slippery.

Really? Maybe I am just so used to the feel of the pre 17 ones that it seems so bad. I really REALLY did not like it.

My steering wheel is skin polished.

I bought a bottle of leather and vinyl cleaner when i bought my car in 2012. I used it once, lol

I moved from a Schilke 14C2 to a regular 14 just now.. slightly less rounded rim.. and have been playing high Gs consistently for the first time in my life for the past ten minutes. Sometimes it IS about the rim, I guess.

I had a 16 as well. All I notice is the smaller diameter.

It's a pretty big goof on Toyota's part. I've taken to applying hand lotion (to my hands, not the steering wheel, or any other surface) before driving. That should not be something I need to consider.

If you don't rub it in the skin do you get the hose again?

Maybe the 860 wheel is different.

Typical old man response to being caught re-posting an already posted answer ........ "it was a joke" ....... instead of admitting to a brain fart or having a senior moment ......

I hope I never get that far gone ......
