Did you all order winter tires from Tirerack? I'm thinking some 16" Michelins. Any other good place and tires for recommendation?
Are you running with TPMS? Is it necessary?

I'm not running TPMS for my winter setup. It isn't needed. My light stays off most of the time anyways, since my wheels are in my garage, the car detects them. My drive to work and back everyday isn't long enough to trigger the light.

+1 for Eric too.

@ truenosan: bwahaha, I noticed that my TPMS keeps picking up the signal from my summer tires (sitting on a rack in my garage) too... glad I haven't needed the electrical tape (yet!).

@ Frsjai: I ended up getting the Koenig/Hankook 16" package from the guys @ Overseas Auto on Main (4th or 6th Ave), from their CL post. They were pretty good to deal with, so while I wonder if I could have gotten a better deal, I'm at least happy with the tires for now.

Thanks for all positive comment!
Just finish my Alcantara shift boots, E brake boots and knee pad. It looks really good! And I put a Ultra Bright(I mean it) Front Park/signal switch back LED too. Can't wait for next meet!

Damn, I want those alcantara red-stitched knee pads...!

If anyone interest see or hear a factory TRD exhaust please let me know. I will have one installed sometime next week(customer's vehicle) Then I will contact you guys and arrange a time. If the time now work for everyone I will try to post some video. Please PM me and leave me your number or Email address.

truenosan · 01-14-2013, 10:07 PM

I'm interested to see/hear how the TRD exhaust sounds!

stanm · 01-15-2013, 01:34 AM

How much does a TRD cost?

scioneric · 01-15-2013, 02:31 AM

$1167 plus tax

truenosan · 01-15-2013, 10:43 AM

I just ignore the TPMS light when it does go on. It's not worth it to rip the guage cluster apart to put tape over it. Nor will I buy TPMS sensors for my steelies

Does that include install?

I don't think that would include install. However, install can't be too much more, as it should be fairly straight forward.
