I had Blizzak's in 285-60x18 mounted to my '15 Tundra steelies...the wheels were pulled from a 0-mile new truck about a month ago.

The goods and the bads...

Good...The Blizzak's are unbelievably grippy on fresh snow, icy slush, and rain, and that's on both paved and unpaved roads. I should have gone to 2-season tire sets years ago.

Bad (stupidly bad)...

As Matt pointed out, the tmps system in my '13 Cruiser is ridiculous. Again, if it's working perfectly, it can associate but not identify 5 senders. It failed to recognize 2 of the 5 senders on the Tundra wheels after attempts at 2 different tire stores.

Both tire guys noted most of the tmps issues they see are with 'Yota's. Causing the truck to "relearn" the senders caused the same error message on both machines.

That leaves me with a 5-minute job that will cost me $108 from the local 'Yota/Lexus dealer. I'm hoping the only other dealer ('Yota only) will be a little bit more reasonable. New senders are > $100 from either dealer.

Will report back after adventures with the dealer.

OEM alloy wheels will be fitted with either KO/2's or Toyo AT/2's as soon as they go on sale in the spring. I'm going to a 75 section radial to fill up the wheel wells a bit.

A merry and blessed Christmas (or whatever else you might celebrate).
