My old nx I had Michelin latitude sports for the summer and Hankook's in the winter and both were great. On the RX I have the bridgestones and they are super quiet and smooth, almost like air but stopping in wet is not as good as other brands. I put Yoko V906s on in the winter and though they are a bit more softer and not as "air" like to ride on, the grip is very good. It all depends on what you want. Comfort, lower rolling resistance, better handling in wet or dry, stopping in wet or dry, aquaplaning, fuel efficiency. It is all so subjective. It also depends on how you drive, what you drive on e,g motorway, A roads, country roads, town driving etc.

Getting around 31 on clear suburban roads but in winter about 28 local start stop driving. Not yet taken it on a long motorway run but what I have on short runs is about 38

Tried that. When I go in to settings/wifi and list available networks and select the car hotspot, it just connects. I don't see an option to forget it.

Thanks. I looked for that option but must have missed it somewhere

Hi I have set my phone (android) to start a wifi hotspot when it picks up the car's Bluetooth connection. Bluetooth works fine. After about 5 minutes, the car drops the wifi connection to my phone and then connects to the in car hotspot (even though there is no subscription on it). It doesn't switch back to my phone. However if I go in to settings/wifi and manually select my phone from the available networks, it stays connected after. Any ideas?

OK so 8 months in. Infotainment system is not great but it has apple and android connectivity but I am used to the native system now. However, I love that engine rumble/growl that I sometimes get when gently accelerating. That sound alone makes my ride worthwhile.

I have a 4.8 watt charger, never used it yet but wondering if that will do?

The solution is simple, just park between a couple of Range Rovers

Lexus insurance jumped from £600 to £1200 between August and September for me last year

So having spoken to insurers if a tracker and a CAM bus immobiliser makes any difference to the premium, they said no. Nothing, not a penny. Which then raises the question if they are happy to pay out for a claim of theft and don't offer any discount for the additional security, and that a recovered car has difficulties when selling it, is it worth having the security in the first place?

How do you know someone is reputable at fitting a scorpion x series to the RX? Do Lexus fit these though I would imagine they charge more to do it. Thanks

I think its just a flaw with the windscreen on the RX

It does demist but I wasn't sure if there was an issue

Is anyone else having this problem. When the temperature is low and I come home to my car from a long day at the office, I find that the windscreen is misted up but not the other windows. Is this normal or does this suggest an issue? Thanks

Got them from a company called Hometyres. Opponeo also had some a while ago. For general day to day commuting and your average suburban school run, shopping etc I have no issue. I didn't try them on snow or ice as they arrived after the thaw but I have used them in cold weather, 2 degrees and they are ok. I think with any winter tyre you still have to respect the road and drive appropriately for those conditions. Even top end premium tyres are not for throwing the car around hard bends.

Had similar issues looking for a set of Winters. After 4 months of looking the only stock available were Yokohama Bluearth V906s. So far they seem ok.

ah ok that explains it, the 40mph. Thanks

Ok so I press the adaptive button, push the stalk forward and the lights remain the same, just the regular lights, no full beam. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for that, is the router in the glove box? I've never really looked

Its a real pain in the back side not being able to reset it and its starting to bug me.

I have the password for the in car wifi router from the sticker on the side of the glove box. Only thing is, it looks like the previous owner has changed the password. Does anyone know how to reset it?

Would this be worth putting a claim under the warranty in?

Bridgestone's are pretty good and available. Each test is subjective and each individual's driving habits and needs are different to the tests. What does a different in a % really mean in real world driving? probably not much. I think any of the premium brands will do for regular suburban driving and motorway driving. Would you really see much of a difference between a Michelin and a Yokohama? Personally I don't thinks so.

Occasionally I get this on a cold morning, turning nearly full lock and pulling off. I think its just a quirk of the car.

It seems this is subjective and luck of the draw.
