Hi,
My first post since buying my first Lexus car, picking up on the 8th
______
To introduce myself:
'06 IS220D SE-L Multimedia 41k on clock (wish I was more daring or better off enough for a newer one but is perfect for what I need and want)
I am a B(E)MS engineer (Building (Energy) Management Systems), drive about 25k a year, varying, about half, amount of train travel into London which helps keep my mileage down a fair amount . my average travel is about 1h:45mins each way, so comfort I found is a key factor.
Wanted a comfy decent car with everything the ISD offered, so loved it from the first test drive!

Anyway, i'm told, comes with pretty crap tyres, and I am after the following points to change to after, please advise:
- a good mpg,
- fairly good mileage
- low noise not a must but the lower the better,
- price always a factor, but not the be-all & end-all,
- all season a factor too as weather earlier this year kinda highlighted the Michelins on the sporty stiff Audi I had befores weaknesses (although that was FWD)
I am thinking a Michelin Energy, but as I said the Michelins may not be the best choice for me.
I have a good friend who is a tyre man, contacts etc, so might be able to help some of you get a good deal in the future
Look forward to asking for your guys help in the future, and hope I can contribute.
Thanks in advance for your replies :)
