I had my GS in Lexus Bristol last week for a cam belt change and a general check over, this is the first time it's been into them since buying it, as always with a new (old) car I was slightly nervous as to what they might find. Pleased to report it's got a clean bill of health and I can rest easy knowing that and it now has a new cam belt. The belt change cost me £295 which for a main dealer, I thought was very good indeed. As always, fantastic service from Lexus Bristol. My next planned job is to get the wheels refurbished and change the tyres.

I think someone on the forum has all ready been to see the one in Rotherham and basically it's a shed

He has had the number plate in other lexus's but I doubt that would be the cause of the mileage being all over the place

yeh the UTQG rating explained why the Falkens lasted a bit longer than the S001 Bridgestones i replaced them with. a lower UTQG rating does not necessarily mean the tyre is bad in terms of performance its just a wear indicator. most track day tyres have very very low UTQG rating which i believe contributes to them being very sticky and gripy. does this mean the SP Sport Maxx will be a more grippier tyre than say the Micheline Sport 3 due to its low figure? I dont know but as an example the Toyo Proxes R888 DOT competition track day racing tyre only has 100 AA A rating being semi-slick its a very sticky tyre. there is more technology which goes into designing a tyre than just its wear rating so dont let that put you off its just an indicator if oen puts wear as priority when choosing tyres.
