some of the GTA group bought 16' RX300 rims and tires - around $14-1500 - I myself bought 17' Toyo Garit H rated tires - (same profile as the bridgestones) - for about $1125 (tax incl.) from Steve's Tire -
905 660 3131 Steve did a good job and the tires are great - did some research and the Toyo's appear to be the best rated winter tires - they use a microbit technology (basically embedded walnut shells in the compound that act as microstuds in the ice and on asphalt)
Fishtail -- thanks for the info. Due to the limited supply of tires, I went with the Pirelli Winter Ice. I have had very positive experiences with Pirelli snow tires so I had no problem justifying the purchase (on top of the fact that if I didn't get the tires, I would probably be out in the ditch somewhere). The entire set came out to CA$850 installed. As I was driving home, the tires handled the fresh and packed snow equally well. Perhaps that 40kg bag of salt in my trunk made a difference as well.

I know this has been asked heaps. But they always delete the answer or close the thread. I locked my Fob and Key In the boot. A lot of forums say there's a trick to get the boot open wit out the key. Can some one tell me how or PM me how thanks heaps x
I've always wanted to have an IS300, but I wanted one in good condition with a factory manual. After a bit of searching, I found one for sale in Atlanta with 195k miles. High mileage, but very well maintained. Has every option available in 02 - full leather, nav, LSD, manual. Mods were minimal...
Hello! New to the forums and very new to owning an is300.
So information about the car: I recently was given a 2003 is300 and I love the car but there have been somethings that Ive needed to either replace or fix due to the previous owners poor maintenance. which have been a little frustrating...
Ok guys I just got the work I wanted done for my 1JZGTE swapped IS300 with a w55. I haven't gotten it tuned just yet but I have about $2,000 left on my budget. Not quiet enough I know but I am close. I'm probably going to be pushing 400hp which I know can be dangerous for the current...
