One Year Review of my P400 D110
#11
Tartan, I agree with you on the superiority of snow tires (I historically run Blizzaks for that reason) but as noted, I don't have this problem at all on a 4Runner with Grabber ATX's closer to 32psi. The factory default on the 110 of nearly 50psi I believe is the primary reason why I see such a difference in traction on those tires on various surfaces...note I also said that my experience on dry trails is impacted as well. I will be getting snow tires this coming season for the 110 but I'm also going to try to configure for light load and see how that helps.

Knock down tire pressure to about 34/35f and 37/38r and set TPMS to light load (which should really be called "regular load" IMHO, but surely there's an EPA reason for pushing the overinflated Heavy Load numbers here in North America, probably so that certain mpg claims can be met), you will be a lot happier all the times, not just in the snow.

@Hoosbest A Pillar fix was the re-taping of the interior felt strip, they did it twice and on the second time also replaced the exterior trim piece covering this, I don't have any pics unfortunately.
Window squeaks, which was worst on driver's, was fixed using the silicon seal that was first shown on YouTube.
Rear hatch squeak was part of the styro assembly under the cargo area that we trimmed slightly as the original cut of it was causing a lot of noise off pavement and that fixed it.

Recently bought a CPO 2020 Defender X. Just curious; what does the A-Pillar issue sound like? I am hearing something that sounds like very light, frozen precipitation hitting the windshield when at highway speed. It kinda comes and goes, is not loud, but it is noticeable. Can hear it with media/music On or Off.
