It seems to me that their tyre prices go up and down based on supply (or not). So seems like you copped a bargain their, when I had my Falkens all round, their prices were way up on £70, so I went to local dealer and ended up paying just over a ton a corner (fitting/balance/etc). Maybe next time I'll check these guys out, but so far tyres wearing well, so hoping a while yet before needing to shell out.

What a good price for tyres. I've just paid £213 to have two Falkens fitted!

Exactly, no suprise there. These German cars are really over rated. Ive had 13 German cars (all VW's) within the past year. All of which have been total garbage. All these cars were 2005+ with less than 100k mileage. All had full service histroy etc and well looked after. One of which I kept for 3 years and sold this year. It just kept throwing up engine management light codes every month. I dont know why but it felt like VW have programmed this as the light would come up on the exact same date after some months. All the reviews for Volkswagens say they are ulta-reliable and give them 5 star rating but when it comes to relaility I would give it 2. I have mates with Audi (using same engine as my VW) and they have the exact same problem. Then we have Toyota reviews for Whatcar, always at the bottom, given 2-3 stars overall rating. Toyota's rating for reliability was given 3 out of 5 because of recalls yet they are bullet proof. Its a good thing you brought a Lexus over that Mercedes, on the long run it will do you good. Mercedes are using Hybrid technology for the first time whereas Lexus have many years experence (from Toyota too) which means they would have been tested for any faults on the long run.

I like Falkens ....... 20k miles front, 22k rears on the Lexus ................. 20k fronts and 40k rears on the Mazda 323f had them for years and have never been disappointed. Malc

I've only seen 30mpg once, when I first bought the car. Presently I'm averaging 21mpg on autogas to and from work in my Mk4, which I enjoy on occasion driving 'progressively', shall we say. After owning this car I don't have any wish to drive anything else. Jeremy Clarkson can keep his Audi's, Mercs and Beemers. Old ones are unreliable and make your fillings fall out.

YES.... but I can't advertise anything as I'm not a GOLD member anymore.( I got a telling off lol a month ago)... Re abs sensors a local lad came round and asked if I was breaking my 400 as he needed a abs sensor, he didn't know which one lol so said he could get all 4 for £100 but payment up front and he takes them off due to me knowing how breakable these are coming off car....well it took 2 days to free them off with no damage and he went away happy and popped in by a couple of days later to say all fitted and working and his 400 now passed mot ps his was a mk111, sensors are the same

Thanks. And happy my amplifier is still working then :D
