Good point. If they are wet or really cold it can be a tougher. When they start to warm it will stop. Your setup probably has pretty strong pulling power too w/4WD. Very cold, 4WD, 1st low low gear, iced brakes. I would say that is a pretty good test.
I wonder if the electronics computer in cars backs off the throttle if people slam on the brakes.
This whole toyo thing is BS.
The only real accident appears that cop in the Lexus with messed up floor mats. It was a loaner cause his car was being serviced. The mats were the wrongd size or something. Cheaps Ford even have little hooks to hold the drivers mat from sliding forward.
My wife’s RX300 has the little floor hooks as well and it is a 2000.
Yep. Of course, shifting to neutral eliminates the problem, but since in my case I was trying to maneuver the car around, I needed it to be in gear. :)

I dunno. Interesting thought.
I had a buddy in the 70's who drove his automatic with both feet -- right on the accelerator, left on the brake. It was so he could keep the engine going (otherwise it tended to stall at idle). He went through brake pads like crazy.

Yep. Smells like somebody is trying to destroy the competition by innuendo rather than in the marketplace.
And I’m pretty sure that last was a case of non-Toyota aftermarket mats, and not official Toyota parts at fault.
