I bought after market TPMS 35 dollars each from tire shop. They reset in five minutes work great. In my research there is no setting in menu for winter tires in LC 500. My 911 has it but not LC.
I have the factory 20" wheels, new in the Toyota/Lexus boxes, that you can have for free if you arrange the shipping. Includes the TPMS sensors and center caps. Let me know.
It's a car. It's not gonna melt. Just give everyone else lots of room - I see too many people driving around on bald tires all winter. Modern cars are very heavily coated. Driving around in winter at all will result in your car being covered in salt even if you never drive in the snow, due to the immense amount of brine on the used on the roads in the Northeast. You should be washing it at a facility with undercarriage wash at least every 2 weeks if you use the car regularly in the winter.
I did this for 5 years and 95,000 miles. There was nary a hint of true corrosive rust anywhere under the car, just surface oxidation, and I was under that car every spring to swap out suspension parts as I was trying to work out the perfect setup.
I went 43 miles through a blizzard on hardpack snow that day (drive home from work). Snowy hill starts were rough on the clutch (slipped the hell out of the clutch to manage wheelspin), but you're not going to have that issue.

Your posting of an LC in the snow woulda been more convincing…..Your posting of a Mustang…Not So Much!
People tend to fear driving powerful rear wheel drive cars in the snow. It was posted to indicate that an LC500 should be fine in the snow, considering how my lighter (3700 lbs), manual, solid rear axle (less dynamic rear traction) Mustang was able to perform.

Point made…Point taken. Most, if not all LC owners are aware that they CAN drive their LC’s in the snow but I would venture to guess that most don’t. So what do you think they do? They drive something else.......I know that I am a lil ‘ocd’. My LC is my feel good car. I only drive it when I feel good and on feel good days. Snow and rain just happens not to be one of them.... I know I will catch some static, but that's just me. Sorry.
