Thinking about winters and if they will be adequate. Yokohama promotions say they are sturdy and grippy. Offical reviews slate them saying they take too long to stop and slide all over the place. Continentals are £80 more per tyre.

No I use full summer and winters. The price for the CC2s was about £950 for 4 fitted.

Their website is centralised, try your local branch

I had Michelins on my NX and they were really good. Continental are really top performers but they come at a premium.

Just curious, has anyone put Yokohama tyres, either summer or winters on their car? They are a bit more wallet friendly and I am wondering if they do the job, do a good job or are just meh? I don't want to go budget but if I don't need continentals are Yoko's adequate? Likewise I don't want to be sliding around and not stopping when I need to. Problem is that reviews are subjective and test conditions may be the perfect condition and not reflective of day to day driving. I have tried a few tyres in my time but never Yokohama so thought I would reach out to the community as someone must have experience of these.

Went to Kwik Fit today and they have CC2s in 235/55/20s. They can ship supply to any of their branches.

At the moment I tend to do short miles, say between 5 and 12 miles. This is dropping my mpg but to be honest, I save more by the fact I am driving less. I do think its more economical on longer runs and still have to take it on the motorway for a run. I just haven't had the need yet.

Has anyone tried out yokohama winters?

Thats an idea, I assume I can just unplug the router and use the connection for my own one. I think I may even have one of those old EE yellow ones somewhere.

I tried to connect my phone but it kept rejecting the passcode. Can you put your own sim in the car?

I think that has done it, and now I get the traffic colours along the roads.

66 MPG ???? I'm doing a lot of short local runs at the moment and getting 30.9 mpg

Umm no. I didn't realise I needed one. I thought I could just tether to my phone. Do I need one and how do I get one? Didn't even realise there was a router in the car.

No route trace option. There is a save route option.

Ok so another question. I connected the Infotainment to the in car hotspot and have a white wifi icon on the screen. I go to wifi, easy setup and try to connect my android phone. I can see the the hotspot and a pin code on the screen. My phone sees the hotspot and asks for a password. I enter the code I see on the screen but my phone tells me this is incorrect. Am I doing something wrong?

Nahh they are sitting in their cars, drinking tea and eating doughnuts while they let the unruly thugs take control of the streets ... I suspect.

Brilliant, thanks I will take a look. The dealer didn't supply me with a manual so I am left figuring things out myself.

Ok, please can someone tell me why on the navigation do I have a purple and dotted white line. Is this a "most frequently used road" feature, or is my car spying on me, tracking my every movement? Can I turn this off or does it have a use? Also I still can't get the damn thing to show red, yellow or green colours for traffic on roads.

Yep, I like the V6 that was an influencing factor in buying the car. The only time I will probably ever have a V6 and wanted to tick that off my car bucket list.

OK so I noticed today, from cold my tyre pressure has dropped from 2.5/2.6 to 2.3/2.4. You think this is due to the colder weather?

Was lucky to get a fairly new low mileage gen 4 RX in the spec I wanted. I am getting around 32-34 MPG but on short trips.

In the winter they do lose more pressure than in the summer but I agree 0.2 bar is not going to impact it hugely. Maybe I should fit monster truck tyres to it 😀.

I would have thought less pressure would increase resistance and more surface area of the tyre would be in contact with the ground causing more wear.

I have been talking to a lot of suppliers about a range of brands and it seems that everyone is waiting until the end of October for supplies. Worst case I am going to have to go with the Bridgestones instead. Excellent in the wet, so so in the dry and average on snow and ice. I guess for that week of snow we get every year, they will do.

I like the 202s, size matters 😁
