  • Temperature stability:
Rating 5.0

I did this a few weeks ago on my '13 Sequoia, but I did not flush it. Just drained the rad and the valves on the block. Replaced with Toyota red and distilled water at 50/50. The fluid I drained was as clear as the fluid I replaced, so I felt flushing was not necessary.

Pros: clear fluid after drain
Cons: no flushing needed
Vehicle: Toyota Sequoia

OEM Toyota Tires

I drive a Prius and it handles fine in winter. Although it burns more fuel during winter because of the heating. Only thing I would strongly suggest is getting a quality set of winter tires. Only time it struggled was getting up that steep incline on King Edward after Rideau on glare ice..during rush hour. I still made it just fine while other gas powered cars were spinning their wheels.

Pros: handles fine in winter
Cons: burns more fuel

JZA80 Supra TT 4 piston front brake swap with front SS lines and freshly rebuilt calipers, new rotors, and pads (stock front brakes were grinding metal to metal, so it was a safety concern for me)

MICHELIN Tires

  • Grip:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 4.0

I put the Premieres on my wife's Corolla and they are really amazing in the wet. We took it up Sandia Peak in Albuquerque a few weeks ago to catch the sunset, then it started raining on the way down. I tried to get it to understeer on some of the switchbacks just to see how much grip was left and couldn't get it to slide. They are not super sporty/firm and the steering response is a little slow in the H-rated version but overall I have been really happy with them.

Pros: amazing in wet, good grip
Cons: not sporty/firm, slow steering response

Rating 2.5

I have Michelin Xi3's. I can't recommend them if you care about your car's performance at all. If you don't GAF then these are fine. Probably ideal for a Prius. They work fine in snow, the brakes work on ice, and the ride is alright. That's all the praise I can give them.

Pros: work fine in snow, brakes work on ice
Cons: poor performance, not recommended

POWER STOP Brake discs

  • Braking:
  • Vibration:
Rating 1.0

I would advise from purchasing Power Stop drilled and slotted rotors and pads. Purchased and installed them. They told me the upgraded rotors and pads would reduce the brake fade I experience from driving a 1999 4Runner with a 3 inch Lift and 32s in the mountains. Initially I saw an increase in stopping power and endurance. Now, 6 months later, I have been experiencing horrible vibrations while braking and at highway speeds. I replaced my pads which were already worn out. Still experienced horrible vibrations. Today I replaced the rotors and have finally been able to brake smoothly and safely. The Power Stop pads wore out in 6 months and the rotors got warped.

Pros: increased stopping power initially
Cons: horrible vibrations, warped rotors, pads wore quickly
