This might be a really really stupid question
I am wondering, if this lockdown continues for quite a long time, (which is quite likely) and my car is stood on the same spot for several weeks/months, will the tyres develop a 'flat-spot' that might be noticeable when I start to drive it again. I recently had a new complete set of Michelin Cross Climates fitted, not cheap and, I wouldn't want something like this to effectively wreck them. Now, is my near 80 year old brain being stupid or is it something that might/could happen?

Mitsubishi Evo 9 wheels, set of 4 17”
I used to run these on my Celsior until I got hold of a set of 18s. They are a straight fit on most Lexus models (CT and LS600 have a different PCD stud pattern). Generally in good condition although the fronts do have some curbing damage on the outer rims. They are fitted with tyres with 235/40/17 on the front rims and 255/40/17 on the rears ( 8” rim width all round). Although these have legal tread depths the tyres are now old and beginning to show signs of ageing so I would sug
2020 Lexus NX F Sport vs Base
Hey Everyone, I hope you are all well and keeping safe during this self isolation time? I am absolutely loving the F sport grill and the tri LED headlights look awesome. I was wondering what the general consensus would be? A base NX with the packs on it (like that white one I filmed) or the F sport? Interestingly both trims get the same size of rims... Ps here is a video of the 2020 NX F sport 🙂
