255/55/19 tires and hello

Hello everyone. First post on this forum and I wanted to say hello.

Also, I haven't noticed many posts about All Terrain tires, specifically larger ones like the 255/55/19 on here. Just one post from 2017. I can confirm however that they do indeed fit but barely! The Toyo OpenCountry at3 is what I got and it is an amazing tire that I would recommend to anyone. The ride quality is actually much better than the Michelin all season tires I had previously and the look is also great. We just had a 8" snow and it handled it perfectly as well.

My car is a 2010 with the 3.2 and it has 179k miles on it. My 70 year old mother was going to just junk it but I saved it from instant death lol. The problem is that it is likely going to require a lot of mtx because she never did anything at all to it except change the oil every 5k miles....literally only oil and tires. The only issues right now showing up is the yaw or steering angle sensor I assume and the tire pressure sensors. So far I have only changed the original engine filter (K&N), cabin air filter, all 4 brakes and rotors, replaced all interior lights with LED, replaced high and low beam headlights with LED, and obviously tires. Somehow it still runs great, but all the other fluids will come next along with spark plugs. I hope to learn a lot of knowledgeable information here and try to do as much of the work myself as I can to save a little cash! Any advice or criticism is welcome haha
OK, completely unrelated... but you got me when you said "...replaced all interior lights with LED, replaced high [and low] beam headlights with LED..."

I'm trying to do the same, with the interior LED lights. Any idea what bulbs you used for the map lights inside the car (i.e. front row map lights behind rear view mirror/next to sunroof switch). Here's my thread if it's any help, but it's a running in-progress "cache" of updates, links, and help I've received from people regarding this project: 08XC90V8's Interior/Exterior LED Makeover Thread -...
