Ok, I have a 2002 IS300.
The tires are: 215/45-17, but the problem is they have sport racing

I tried to replace the oxygen sensor from the front exhaust manifold of my
2000 RX300 with 120k miles.  It was very difficult removing the sensor from
the manifold and the threads stripped.  Any advice for installing the new
