Is it for snow foam? If so I've got a Karcher one, depends a lot on what you put in it to how good it is.
-
That's better
-
Yes, I'm getting 2 screens wide as well. Unuseable really

Lovely colour, I like Yellow. I've had 3 Daytona Yellow Fords and a Hello Yellow Smart
-
Could you isolate the problem on a rolling road / MOT tester? Might be wirth a try to identify whether it's front, back or in the middle
-
Sticking caliper maybe?
-
omg, how many coils are hidden?
-
Is it true companies won't repair run flats now? Due to the unknown ( how long it's been driven and at what speed tec. ).
-
It doesn't say that it just says tread mm. The 2mm it highlights as amber ( green, amber, red ) which is why I thought my tyres needed attention almost immediately. When I queried with service and service manager nobody says it's 2mm before you need to change them. Misleading at best IMHO.
-
Yes, the dealer appears to have measured from the wear markers.
-
OK - silly question from me time.
I went and bought a tire tread guage today ...... so question is do you measure it from the bottom of the tread or on top of the little tyre tread markers insie the tread?
If it's the bottom of the tread ( which I expect it is ) then I think my Lexus dealer needs to be taught this

I've been using 35 front and 38 rear, dealership said pressures were correct when it was serviced. My drivin is nearly all "A" road at an average of about 45 mph in rush hour ( 30 mile each way ). I'll try an extra couple of pound in each then. Need to decide which tyres to go for though.

Well I'm back again to ask some questions:
Same old story for me
Lexus IS250 SEL Auto, 10 months old, shod with Toyo Proxes R32:
front right 3, 6, 3
front left 2, 6, 3
rear left 4, 5, 3
rear right 4, 5, 3
Reminds me of the IS200 and is worse than my previous IS250 considering it's done half the miles
Do Toyo tyres wear more than the other standard fir? Sure my last ones were Bridgestone or Pirelli.
What adjustments are there on the IS250? What is likely cause of this wear?
-
OK Tony thanks for the reply, I guess by the time it has done another 20k I would have sold it. But I'll keep an eye on the tyre wear and the deadness as you put it.
-
No, mostly 30 mile runs on A roads averaging maybe 45 - 50 on a good day. Just done a 30 mile each way motorway trip and noticed the vagueness you have posted in another post. This is presumably as the tyre treads are now even on the new tyre. Need to see what it's like over the next few days. I'll also double check pressures and nut tightness all round in the morning.
Have you a correction for the camber wear?
-
Tony have you progressed with this for the IS250? Mine came back from 20k service with the normal uneven wear:
inner - middle - outer:
front right 1.6,6,4
front left 1.6,5,3
rear left 4,4,4
rear right 4,4,4
I've replace the front tyres this week and just wondering what you advise to correct the wear. I know you had it down to a fine art on the IS200 but can you do an equivalent job on the IS250? If so I may need a trip down to see you, It's a bit of a way but could pair it with a visit down that way.

Can anyone ID this Bentley?

I'd say it's a 1958 S1, looking at the characteristics on show.
