  1. Thanks for the replies - TBH the Pirelli's I hadn't even considered because I have had very bad experienced with their P6000 tyres on two different cars. I am therefore reluctant to have them on my RX. I think I will have to do some research on them - but the yellow scorpion is kinda cool ;)

    I am leaning towards the Conti's because they are not only OE on the XC90, X5 and Cayenne - they are designed specifically for 'high performance' SUVs. I am surprised at the lack of tyre choice for the RX.

    Appreciate the feedback tho' ...

    Currently own a Volvo XC90, on the Volvo Forums the Conti's last for about 13,000 miles (18,000 miles if you are a careful driver). Most of them are changing to Nokian WR. A volvo dealer "confessed" that they make money by fitting conti's. 1 user got 63000 miles and still has thread left on the tyres.

    I know that you have already but the tyres, just wanted to make everyone aware.

    Still got the Lex by the way. B)

  2. CALM DOWN YOU TWO

    :excl:

    Now everyone has there own opinion on the matter

    Personally i believe people wait for a safe part of the road to overtake.

    In this instance the moped riding person had the nerve to complain that he was overtaken, simple

    Personally i would have "tried" to explain to the youth why he was overtaken and walk away.

    They may or may not listen his problem not mine.

    If the road is 60 and he his doing 40 Moped or Car i will overtake as soon as it is safe to do so, which is what i believe Mr Fiddle did.

    now grow up the pair of you. :D

  3. Hello all,

    Have just bought a 2001 RX300- Dark met. blue, beige leather, very nice it is too! However the tyres need replacing and the wheels are a bit scabby, so would like to put a set of nice alloys on to go with the tyres. I want to move up a size to 17" or 18" depending on the funds. I cannot find a supplier or make of wheel that will fit onto it. Has anyone out there got any aftermarket wheels which fit? If so can you let me know what make/size they are and where you got them from.

    Thanks in advance

    Rik

    I have a set of 18 i bought of a member here, The are TSW Eurace.

    I am sure Terry will be along soon as he his betterinformed than me.

    I am sure if you ask very reputable alloy wheels dealer they will be able to help

    Will check the size for you and let you know

  4. Hmmm not so sure about the GS. The number plate on the auction starts with an M but if you look closely the numberplate from that you see on the salvaged car looks like it starts with an A even though it's covered up. Would the repaired car have a different number plate???

    Quite Right

    1. eBay states 2005 model year

    Salvage 2006 model year

    (could be a typo)

    OR

    2. The damaged car could have had cherised plates and was given a new reg after it was fixed.
