Accelera Ioatas are what small independent dealers put on a car to save cash. i.e. they are the cheapest tyres available for the Rx. They are rubbish tyres.

Yes many people have put 255 50 20 on their cars but just not on these forums. Many on the US forums have. I have 255 55 20 which are even bigger to get better ride comfort. A lot of people like to stick to OEM size and brands because they want to be safe in their choice. One thing I will say is that Lexus did not pick the Bridgestone Dueler/Dunlops as OEM tyres for their performance. They most likely picked them because they offered the cheapest large scale deal for Lexus. Nearly no car enthusiast would look to buy Bridgestone Duelers/Dunlops for their replacement tyres given the vast better choices available. Duelers have a wet C rating despite being a summer tyre. All summer tyres should have an A wet rating. Only Winters and All Seasons should be allowed a B wet rating given that they have to compromise for snow and ice. 235 55 20 sizes have a terrible selection of tyres.

Many CC2 in 235 55 20 size is for cars. Not sure if Michelin have recently updated them with the SUV version. CC2 in 255 50 20 is for SUVs and have stiffer sidewalls. Yes you can put 235 55 20 on a SUV but just be aware that they were made for cars.

Sorry, yes meant it was 4 mph faster as standard.

My speedo was approx 4mph slow on original wheels and tyres. Not sure if Lexus do this on purpose. It is now is accurate to 1mph so the change is tyre size works for me in this instance.

It isn't significantly larger. Besides, diameter isn't an issue given the massive size of the wheel arch gap on our cars. It is whether the width will cause rubbing on full lock. 255/55 does not result in any rubbing. I now get better ride quality, a better fuller looking wheel arch and much better tyres. All tyres available for the 235 size are average in comparison.

Yes you can easily fit 255/50. I have recently installed 255/55 tyres on my Gen 4 RX to get better ride confort and better quality tyres. (255/50 is actually a smaller diameter than the standard setup). No issues at all. The OEM bridgestone and dunops available on the standard size are awful.

My insurance is due this week and went from £700 to £2800. It is an absolute joke. Many companies are not quoting.

Mine is a Gen 4 2018. Need to update my profile.

Unsurprisingly, my local dealer Lexus Sidcup has no knowledge of this. Looks like I will have to email Lexus UK.

How much did you pay? The deal is misleading. I read it as £250 for the Canbus Immobiliser on its own. It is infact still £450 for the Scorpion X Canbus Immobiliser on its own. Not really a deal if you don't want the tracker.

I had my water pump replaced under the relax warranty after the dealer noticed some leaking during a routine service. This was 5 months ago and mine is also a 2016 RX. It is definitely covered under the relax warranty. The quote to replace was around £1k without warranty (dealer initially assumed I didn't have the relax warranty).

They are using the wiring from the passenger side front LED lights through peeling back the front near side wheel arch lining.

£10k? No RX400 is worth £8k+. £8k+ is RX450h money. I am trying to find a non rusty version with no suspension MOT notes for around £3k/£4k for the tip run, supermarket run and station car parking.

Hi, can anyone recommend a bodyshop in kent (near Sidcup) for a minor bodywork repair to my 2017 RX450h. Thanks
