nice! question, now that the 07 has fog lights on the bottom, do the lights where the old ones used to be have any function? also what kind of tires are on the 07s now?

The outside lights are for low/high beam lighting. The inset headlights are for daylight running lights.

My TLS has Michelin HX MXM4 tires (P235/45 R17).

I really like the paint color.

It drives pretty well and I'll plan to continue to use the stock tires this Winter. I'll be buying wheels and studless snow tires for next Winter.

Thank you MaFreCola!

Good eye - the pictures were taken with a Canon 1D Mark II.

The snow fall amounts varied quite a bit even in the area of Spokane, WA. As the pictures show, we had about 1 inch near my house, but just 6 miles East, at the same elevation, the snow accumulation exceeded 6 inches. That area was better travelled in my MDX then my TLS.

Thank you Steve. I'm with you, I think the stock TLS wheels look pretty good with the CBM body color.

Hi Final - my TLS with the stock tires handled pretty well considering the tires have less then 500 miles on them. I plan to purchase a set of wheels and studless snow tires for next Winter.

It was below zero last night, and as of 10:58 AM this morning it's a balmy 7 degrees Fahrenheit in Spokane right now.

lol, thanks maddog.

It's been snowing for 3 days straight here in Spokane, WA and it's starting to look a _lot_ like Winter. The TLS is driving great, even in the snow.
