Hi Having the Sienna for almost 2 months I have some questions:(a) I realize that an AWD Sienna comes with a bigger tire/wheel size. Why? Would id be adviseable to get bigger/wider tires for a none AWD Sienna LE? If Yes/No why?(b) Will the flat tire alert light go on with any wheel installed on a Sienna with this feature? How does it KNOW?(c) Should the brakes be pressed down while shifting from {P} to say {D} or {R} and vs versa? Or is it OK to let feel the shift and shake into the gear changing to?(d) Is it true than Dunlob(sp?) isnt the best chosen tire for a car, Michelen, Bridgton and ?? is much better?(e) Is it worth to get an extended warranty for the car?(f) How do I protect under carriage from rust etc.?I have many more question regarding our new Sienna but dont feel bothering you guys so much at a time. :)with appreciation, Erina

Slightly better handling and better looking cosmetically.No, because you will probably never take advantage of the added cornering ability so it is probably not worth the added expense. If you routinely take exit ramps at twice the speed limit or do 4 wheel drifts through turns or plan to rob a bank in the Sienna, then you might appreciate the extra corenering ability. Otherwise, I'd pass.Probably.How does it KNOW?The anti-lock brakes have a speed sensor on each wheel. A flat tire will rotate at a slightly different speed than the tires that are not flat. A computer senses the different wheel speed and turns on a warning light.Absolutely!Or is it OK to let feel the shift and shake into the gearIt is only OK if you're willing to shorten the life of your transmission. A friend of mine always changes from forward to reverse or vice versa while the vehicle is rolling and has had transmission trouble in every vehicle he has owned, including Toyotas, Dodge, & Ford. Shifting from forwrd...

I'll have to chew on that one for a while, but allow me to offer, "for whom the bells toll," whom is the subject of the sentence.

The subject of "for whom the bells toll" is -bells-. The -bells- are doing the tolling, not -whom-. The object of the sentence is -whom-.

Hello again,

No, it is not a sentence at all... It is a sentence fragment.

All the best,
