Thanks Linas, unfortunately not pairs!

Many thanks Both Mike

Morning Folks My RC300h needs new tyres. My Lexus dealer is offereing these; anyone have experience of which I should go for to get a slightly 'softer' ride (bad back!) Bridgestone RE050A Dunlop sport Maxx Rear-£300.42. Rear-£274.54. Front-£228.21. Front-£222.40. Thanks Mike

I need to change all the rubber on my RC 300H. What tyres do people recommend for a less noisy more comfortable ride? thanks Mike

Thanks John - interesting!

Many thanks Renato

Many thanks - will give it a go.

Would the seat heating still get through/work?

My wife has developed a back problem and is finding the ride in my RC300 uncomfortable; even with the heated seat. I don't want to change wheel size and it's not ready for a tyre change. Years ago there was a product on the market, much used by taxi drivers I recall, of a sort of 'bubble' seat cover that, allegedly, eased back pain. Any thoughts?

I've this 2018 version of this Sat NAV on my RC 300 h Premium. How do you put in Favourites for restaurants and hotels in France and Germany. The system doesn't show any POI s when you try to search. It's also beaten the Lexus sales staff. Great on £40+ k car! Mike

Taking my RC300H to France in a week and wanted to input my destination and a couple of addresses into the sat nav memory. Went into destination, etc and changed the country to France. I was trying to input 1, place du Chatelet, 75001, Paris but part way through inputting either the town or the street it threw up a load of addresses I had to chose from - none of which were the one I wanted. Is it me or the sat nav? Thanks Mike

My apologies. I thought this subject would be of wider interest to all ther Forum so put my below reply in Wheels & Tyres. So, PCM, here's your 'citation' from HJ. Mike Yesterday I asked HJ to clarify his advice and received this reply: "As I incessantly point out, tyre pressures rise by up to 4PSI when the vehicle is used and the air inside the tyres heats up. Obviously if you set the cold pressures at 38PSI, the pressures could rise to 42PSI in use and that could result in a serious crash."

I started a thread on tyre pressures in the RC300h forum but this actually affects all of us, so hope I'm not transgressing Forum rules by restarting it here. I asked the Forum: "In nearly all his 'advice' in the DT Honest John [HJ] advises ignoring manufacturer's recommended tyre pressures, e.g. 35/38 psi, and, unless we are doing 100 mph all the time, run on 30/30 (he says all his cars are on that). What do you say?" This received many responses some supporting others saying go with the 'door pillar' pressures. Yesterday I asked HJ to clarify his advice and received this reply: "As I incessantly point out, tyre pressures rise by up to 4PSI when the vehicle is used and the air inside the tyres heats up. Obviously if you set the cold pressures at 38PSI, the pressures could rise to 42PSI in use and that could result in a serious crash." So, if I read him correctly, he is still saying 'ignore the manufacturer's recommendation (door pillar pressures when cold) and drop them down by 4 psi'? Mike

Wow! What an eclectic range of views but that's what Forums are for. So we have Honest John with 30 psi, (a quick search on Google gives), Pure Tyre.com with 33 and Tyre Pressures.com with 35 - still lower than my door post 38. The-Acre's comment is interesting/worrying - that might be worth exploring further. Thanks for all the replies chaps Mike

Happy New Year In nearly all his 'advice' in the DT Honest John advises ignoring manufacturer's recommended tyre pressures, e.g. 35/38 psi, and, unless we are doing 100 mph all the time, run on 30/30 (he says all his cars are on that). What do you say? Krs Mike
