Let's see if this link works: Discount Tire | Tires and Wheels for Sale | Online & In-Person Edit to add you're right, I can't find it on the Michelin web site. Hmm.

After a quick check, in 18" the Michelin X-Ice Snow and the Hankook Winter i Pike X are the only two winter tires I've come across that are standard load. I added them and a few other winter options to the spreadsheet.

And your photo confirms my suspicions that if there's an actual blue sky in the photo, the Heritage Blue color comes out a lot closer to reality.

Yes -- when I order replacement painted parts for my Heritage Blue FJ they always say "Smoky Blue."

Probably depends on your local snow to pothole ratio.

It's a hybrid, not a gas engine alone, so not the same as auto start/stop. A lot of people seem to be confused about that. The electric motor is always on, it starts the gas engine when needed.

Thanks for the clarification. Car & Driver got 65.0 lbs for the tire & wheel. I'm guessing neither were using carefully calibrated scales!

I'll have to look for that. Someone a few posts back got 76 lbs. I'm hoping we can convince @Michael_Oregon to weigh one of his stock 20" tires before he sells them!

Just saw this on FB: “Picked this one up- premium package, falken wild peak at4w 275/60/20. Very pleased.”

Yeah, at least according to Toyota techs, you don't really want to run one tire that's way off. Two things you can do about it: (1) rotate all 5 tires so none of them are way out, if the worse happens you can make the replacement your spare. (2) Put better than stock tires on it. On three...

The 705's are my favorite too. If they came in 18" with an offset near 40, that's what I would do. Below is what I got from Method on the 17" wheels. All of them look like a pretty tight fit.

Ah so you've joined us! Welcome! I had to "export as jpg" before the web site would accept it for some reason.

The Java (leather at least) I've suddenly seen a lot more of in the last two weeks for incoming vehicles. There weren't many around here before that. That is likely to be a high demand combination which might be part of the issue. Check with Walnut Creek Toyota. They do have a list, if...

I asked Toyota and they replied with a link to a page with tire sizes. Maybe we can convince someone with a set for sale to weigh them?

If I decide to settle for 20" wheels, I'm seriously considering the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T in 275/60R20 standard load. It's one of the lighter options (47 lbs, about the same as the Nokian in that size). Supposed to be really good in snow and reasonably good in rain. And in what other...

See the spreadsheet linked in my signature. Stock mid-trim and first edition wheel (US): 27.3 lbs Stock mid-trim and first edition tire (US): 37.3 lbs I haven't found it for the 1958 or 20" upgrade options.

The FJ Cruiser had at least three different blues? The last year (in the US) was the only time they used Heritage Blue, and they've been using it on other vehicles ever since. Apologies for the non-LC Heritage Blue photo from atop the Great Western Divide in the Sierras:

In other threads folks have suggested resetting it when you pick it up from the dealer, as it may have sat idling in port etc. and you don't want that throwing it off. And others have said it gets better as the engine breaks in.

I wonder if @Dongar has any similar solutions for a back camera? Link to the adapter: Dash Cam Power Adapter (10-Pin Type B) for Select Toyota/Lexus/Subaru

Can't argue with what you like. I really wonder about the low speed drive train clunkiness. The two (non-Toyota) hybrids we've had have been quite smooth, and every rental Prius I've driven has been fine. You'd think Toyota would have this figured out by now. Many many years back I got a...

In the FJ era, for years Toyota would not allocate any manual transmission FJs to northern California. For reasons known only to Toyota. I had to go down to the LA area to buy one. I'm guessing this is the same kind of puzzling Toyota regional decision.
