Cold temp / high pressure blows power steering hose.

Google brought me to an old but similar post but, after I added my issue, I realized it was not in the right sub-forum. I've deleted that one and copied here.

I bought my 2011 new in spring of 2012 with less than 30 miles on it. (It was hiding on a dealership lot full of pick-up trucks. Poor marketing?) I drive it almost daily, year round, though mostly...

I remember reading somewhere that the Blizzaks had a bit more tread squirm than some other winter tires, but any winter rubber will be softer than the summer tires.

The 40 or 45 numbers are a ratio of height to the size of the tire, not absolute heights. The stock 275/40r20 tires are the same height as the stock 245/45r20 tires. It's because the 40 is a smaller...
