  1. Hi Ian 🙂 They seam very quiet on motorways and good roads that are tarmacked. Locally where i live the roads aren't great, but the noise level is still very good I find on a safety level, they are by far the very best tyres you can get if my recent pothole experience is anything to go by, in which the police attended. They didn't even drop a bar of air pressure incredible I know what you mean thou, and you may have to give up the run flats if you won't excellent low noise levels
  2. My run flats are Dunlop and to me, they are very good so will be sticking with them
  3. If warnings are important to you, both with visual and sound alerts so you can see and hear 100% of what's going on around you, then the Lexus is very poor. Only a Mazda is first class in this department, and would never make any errors under normal circumstances or receive speeding / red traffic alerts tickets as the sound and visuals are top-notch clearly displayed with full dialogue speech on the approach
  4. I got a large nail in my run flat and only lost a few bars over a week, so I'm keeping mine
  5. Having hit that large pothole, they may have helped serious damage recently?
  6. My dealer sets the uxs at 25 bar for everyone

  8. That sure sounds like Gibraltar. They need to get their act together with the potholes, i look after 2 main roads here at Gatwick with my weekly inspections and as i said above that to hit this pothole of which just a couple of days earlier i had reported i just can't understand. i guess with my wife and i chatting, i forgot that we were coming up to this pothole. i saw it very late and if it hadn't been for a car coming the other way could have swerved and missed it we had a very bad pile up here on Friday in the rush hour on the m23 you have probably heard about that 15 cars involved
  9. From what i remember, the whole place in 1980 was pretty bad, so it all needed a radical plan to get it up to date. i guess there are no jobs there still. In the summer, the odd thing, i distinctly remember being the only person on the beach and in the slot machine arcades playing pinball. i still play pinball today over in the VPF forum and on the steam platform with Zen studios
  10. My aunt use to live in invicta road with the small alleyways at the back. She just had gas lighting in those days before she died in 1980 100 years old i haven't been back since, so am not sure as to how things have changed
  11. It could well be Malcolm have further developed into a sinkhole. I went past there yesterday, but because of the heavy rain I couldn't make out the extent of what's happened as i said above, my car has been inspected for free by my Lexus dealer, and it appears to be OK, but we will not for certain until the MOT in July 2025 comes around when the wheels will get a thorough inspection along with all the other parts that get inspected I'm keeping the car and now need to put this behind me. It's not the first time i've been involved in a heavy collision, the last one was in 1969 with my dad on a double-decker bus in sheerness going under a low bridge late at night in November with heavy rain ripping the roof off and we in the front seats upstairs. My dad just saw what was about to happen and got hold of me and head first through me down the stairs. Same noise as the pothole with violent shaking so yes it's not easy for me at this time but could have been worse with the car flipping over
  12. The pothole in question has further developed into a major pothole, with a 100-meter section of Charlwood road at Gatwick being now closed off and operated by traffic lights
  13. It's really got bad the past few years. I was lucky the car didn't roll over, as that's what the police expected. So if anyone is about to purchase a car, I would say the UX every time and forget about small details that you don't like. Life's too short to get too wrapped up in what's wrong had i been in another type of car, things may have been well different and the car would have rolled over. We will never know my neighbours' daughter Renault rolled over in her pothole experience and her mum has lost the wheel twice the past few months in the wet in her Renault
  14. If they are anything like i had to go through last night, I would say there Bullitt proof
  15. Well my friends I have just got back from seeing Tim master tec at Lexus Gatwick who has inspected the car and all looks normal so a miracle must have happened. The pothole in question has been coned off so at least i achieved something last night, the prevention of a serious injury or death to a fellow driver but more importantly a motorbike rider who no doubt would have been killed thanks guys for your support 😊
