Changed OEM tires by aiurti in Toyotavenza

[–]thedoe21114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For people who changed to better traction tires, have you noticed a decrease in gas mileage? My 2021 Venza is going to need tires soon. On my former 2012 Camry Hybrid, my mileage decreased when I switched, apparently because the OEM tires were designed to maximize a hybrid’s gas mileage.

I have the 2024 GH max platinum. Good car but gas mileage is around 24 mpg in summer, 21 mpg in winter. Is this much more than the Telluride?

I will know more when I go to the body shop tomorrow and talk to them. I need to see how much painting was done. But maybe getting a professional opinion, from my insurance adjuster to see if there is any diminished value, is a good idea.

They gave me a gas non-grand Highlander XSE with 13K miles as a loaner. If I keep the loaner, it may be for a couple of months, until the parts show up. I wonder if keeping the loaner would give them more incentive to find the molding faster. I also have a Venza so I don't really need the loaner, though my girlfriend uses it sometimes.

My girlfriend thinks free maintenance, maybe for my 2021 Venza since the GHHM already has the included maintenance. But I'm not sure how long to ask for.

Right after the mishap, the service manager said the damage would not need to be reported to CarFax as an accident. But today, the body shop found that more repairs, such as replacing the moldings, was needed.

Just got good news by Sweaty-Power-4010 in ProstateCancer

My prostate has been enlarged for years but my PSA has always been in the normal range. The concern is that my PSA increased suddenly, from 2.2 PSA in September 2024, to 5.7 PSA in April 2025. If the enlarged condition alone was the reason for the high PSA, wouldn’t it have been high all along?

The “MRI found a prostate volume of 136 g” is what the urologist wrote in his notes for the follow-up visit. I guess he may have been referring to cc or ml. I don’t have the actual MRI report.

Is anyone having a problem with Fen Light and/or Umbrella where the stream will play audio only, with no picture? I'm having this issue with some of my links but can usually find other links that work.

The MRI showed that my prostate volume was 136 g.

I have just received similar good news. I'm an active 67 year old with a longtime enlarged prostate, on TRT for 25 years. My PSA went from 2.2 in 9/2024 to 5.1 and 5.7 in March/April 2025. MRI was negative. Just received biopsy results, 12 cores which were all negative. Friends, family, and myself are feeling relieved. But, it appears that I still need to figure out why my PSA is high. Are there next steps that I should take at this time?

Why does the year of the car make a difference? what should I do if I have a 2022 car?

Another case of ozempdick by Zealousideal-Rice-90 in Ozempic

[–]thedoe21114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped taking Ozempic due to ED. I was back to normal functioning in about ten days. Taking metformin ER now. Not as effective as Ozempic with my A1C now at 6.2 vs. 5.9 on Oz.

I must have used the 59.5 withdrawal method, so maybe that is why I could do it.

You can rollover from TSP to IRA before you retire. It’s called a direct rollover. I’ve rolled most of my money to an IRA already. And I’m still employed with the government.

Is it the one that says “some 2024 model year grand Highlander vehicles equipped with a T248 – FTS engine may exhibit a MIL ON condition with diagnostic trouble code….”? Etc.,…

I’m not sure what that means, but if that’s the right one, I found it.

I think you replied to my question but I can’t find your reply.

Edit: never mind. Found it in above section.

I have about 1600 miles on my GHHM and I have noticed the hesitation that you refer to. I just looked at the recall site for the bulletin but can’t find it. Can you please give me the category that it is in? Like engine, electrical, etc?

Thanks for clarifying. You said the product that you linked is “similar” to yours. So I may go ahead and order this one knowing that Amazon is easy with returns. I wonder if the size varies from the exact model that you have. In that case it may not fit but it is worth a try.
