  1. These tyres are at 2.3 bar as recommended. Also this model does not have the adaptive suspension system which may have improved the ride. It is on the F sport model. Obviously I did not do enough research. From a lot of checking on the web the Bridgestone run flat tyres are considered noisy and hard. I believe Lexus now are supplying Dunlops which are reported to be quieter and offer a more comfortable ride. The UX is ok on the motorway but on A and B roads where most of our driving is done I am not happy with it. The UX was the perfect size as there is just 2 of us and size issues re back seats and boot was not an issue for us. I will be switching to a new Corolla.
  2. Tyres are Bridgestone run flats 18” and after doing research on the web they are considered to be very noisy. Dunlops seem to be a lot better from the reports. To be honest I did not even consider this as an issue with a Lexus before purchase. My old diesel avensis cars cruising at 40-60 were quieter than this UX. Anyway another lesson learned the hard way.
  3. Interesting experience. I recently purchased a 2021 UX 250h premium sport edition with 9200 miles. I have it 6 weeks and will be getting rid of it. This is the nosiest and most uncomfortable car I have owned in 44 years of driving. From what I have read the tyres are a major factor. You can feel every bump in the road. I live in Northern Ireland and our roads are poor but this car exaggerates this. Previous car VW golf 1.4 Tsi and I had it for 6 years was quiet and smooth. My wife’s 6 months old Yaris design is far quieter than the UX. Also the Yaris drive is a lot smoother. Yaris is 1.5 hybrid. Previously owed 3 avensis, 2 Yaris, Rav. 2 BMWS, 3 Peugeots I am so disappointed in the UX. I have always associated Lexus with quiet and smooth driving cars. Another reason I purchased was the reliability record of Lexus but this means nothing if the car is dreadful to drive. My test drive was mostly on a short motorway section so very difficult to spot the noise issues.
