Tyre Wear - Is200se

Hello

I've had my Lexus IS200 SE Auto for about 18 months now. Is a company car, but I'm seriously considering buying it at the end of the lease, and running it privately (Gordon Brown has made it impossible to support an IS under the new tax schemes!).

One thing that has concerned me though is the rate I go through tyres. They were replaced at 20,000 mile service and described as "very worn". I've since done 13,000 miles and looking at them they are near the warning mark again. They are the Goodyear Eagle type.

I'm not a boy racer, most of the journeys are motorway, at averagely high speeds (but not spinning away from lights).

Is 15,000 mile replacement to be expected or is there something wrong here?

On another topic, I'm considering SAT NAV. Can this be retro fitted by Lexus and has anyone had any experience?

Many thanks

J - Silver IS200SE

Around 15K, 20K tops is the same as I'm getting out of tyres, I've done 65K miles now and it seems like I'm forever getting new tyres. Fortunately I don't pay... I do drive it quite hard though.

Fitting the Original Sat Nav is near impossible (it would be very expensive) your best bet is either an after market unit to replace the existing head unit or a stand alone portable unit such as garmin.
