Default Tundra - Hard slippery steering wheel

I'm tired of struggling to grip my steering wheel, so I'm looking for a fix. Just wondering what some of you have found to be a good solution for this. Have you replaced the wheel altogether? If so, what with? I'm not a fan of chintzy looking covers, especially ones that don't match the interior...but if you've found one that looks nice and works well, tell us about it.

Thanks,
Chris

Wheelskin leather cover. You have to sew it on, but it is worth all $30.
The light greys match well with my truck.

No problem. Some people have pictures in their photo section. Try a search.

After seeing my cover my dad bought one for his Highlander.

Yeah I have a wheelskin cover and it is great. It takes a bit of time to put it on, but it is worth it. I have a picture of it here. Both of my parents have them on their cars and they have lasted quite a long time.

Here is another thread about the wheelskin. I have a better picture of my wheelskin in that thread. I ordered it form www.dccarcare.com and I highly recommend them. They gave me first rate service. You can read more about my experience in that other thread.
