Horn has gone off in the middle of the night twice in the last two weeks. Both were rainy/wet nights (Long Island, NY). Disconnected the battery until weather cleared up.

Am currently running 16 inch rims with Yokohama Geolander I/T G072 winter tires 215-70-16 on a 2009 Rav-4 Sport that came with 18 inch rim and Toyo tires. These winter tires are quiet and perform well in snow.
