The 225/70/16 are of course the stock size. I have a chance to pick up a set of 225/60/16 worth the money in like new condition. I'm not worried about the speedometer reading, but I am concerned about the clearance of the tire. Can anyone tell me if they are close enough to work fine? Also, I would still have the 225/70/16 spare for the life of the tires. Is this a major deat on an AWD if it is only temporary? Thanks for the help.

I just noticed when I went to work last night that the "D" doesn't light up on the dash. Does anyone know if it uses individual light bulbs for each position and if they are replaceable or if it would be a switch problem somewhere else? If it does indeed have it's own bulb, how do I get to it? Thanks.

Thanks for the help. Since you have done this before, which side has the fluid coming out of the transmission line, drivers or passengers? Sure would save me a mess if I get the right line the first time. Thanks.

This is on a 2000 RX300. Just wanted to doublecheck the obvious. Can I disconnect one of the cooler lines going to the radiator and attach a hose going to a bucket then start the engine and let the fluid run out while pouring new fluid in until I have bright red fluid coming out (after I replace/clean the filter and pan)? If so, how many quarts does it take for a complete flush/fill? Also is a replacement filter available for the Lexus or do you have to clean and replace the original? Sorry if this is a repeat. All that I found hinted at cleaning the screen and changing 4 or 5 quarts at a time over 5000 miles to replace the fluid. The method I describe is one I have used with success on a 74 Chevy, 2000 Ford, and 2000 Toyota with success. I didn't know if this transmission design would not allow this to be done or not. I have 110,000 (bought used at 100,000) with no trouble yet and want to keep it that way. Thanks.
