Lexus GX 460 Update! TRD Wheels & Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S POV First Impressions

Описание: More thought went into this wheel & tire decision than I care to admit. I may have spent hours...days...ok, more like weeks agonizing about the right width, size, tire load rating, tread pattern & brand, how the tires were going to be used, etc. Here were my requirements:

-17" of meaty sidewall glory
-Be slightly taller larger than stock size of 30.5" but still be able to fit in the spare tire location (less than 31.5" in diameter)
-Reduce the GX's Ugliness
-Perform great in all Michigan weather without sacrificing comfort/NVH
-Not be E rated and 50+lbs/tire

I think I've found a pretty ideal setup for daily duty/light off-road use!

The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones. If you wear headphones, your mind won't be blown, but it will go, "woah, that's cool."

I'm also the producer for the Winding Road YouTube Channel:

Here on TheTopher, I'm known for putting a camera on my face and driving cars. Whether it's about any of my personal cars or reviews on weekly press vehicles, the goal is to give you an idea of what a certain car is like to drive or live with. Most of my videos are filmed in POV, with my clothes on, and (for like the 5th time) with in-ear binaural audio. Which, if I haven't made it clear yet, is why you should wear headphones. Because of the whole "woah" factor. It's there, trust me. Try it, it's pretty nuts. Or don't. As long as you whitelist me on your adblocker I'm okay with whatever you do or don't do with regards to headphone usage. That is all. Oh and I guess you should also probably subscribe. Why are you still reading this, you should be watching the video. With headphones! Hah, had to sneak that in there one more time. Later!
