  1. My Kuhmo 225/40/R18 sit flush with the rim as well and I am hoping that 235/40/R18 may be slightly better, apparently Pirelli P1 235 have a better rim protection but don't have a 255 for the rear. (I think is is something to do with the Lexus rims)
  2. Looks too good, but will they match the staggered combination in the offer?
  3. I am up for new tyres soon on my IS250 1. FRONT 8" +45mm - I am going from 225/40R18 to 235/40R18 (I am suer this will be OK) 2. REAR 8.5" +50mm - I am going from 245/40R18 to 255/40R18 The new models run 255/35R18 on the rears, do you think this will make much difference? I am also after some serious rim protection as well!
  4. Final advice required for dustless front brake pads for NORMAL driving on 2010 Lexus IS250 Bendix A$100 Project MU NS400 A$150 EBC Red Stuff A$200 (are these ceramic?) I do not intend to machine or change the rotors unless advice from installer.
  5. Yes, I would take it back to Lexus for their advice, my IS250 is coming up for the same 5 year service and I would be concerned if the the fuel consumption increased from the already thirsty V6. It may have to do with the tyres (or the new fuel sensor) but only if the ratio has changed on the back from a 255/40/R18 to a 255/35/R18 That is the fuel consumption for an IS350.
  6. OK so you think these would be the best, I have been on the internet and you can go forever with brands and prices. We are talking 2010 IS250.
  7. OK, so the front are approx Aus$200 delivered, forum members please advise... QUESTION 1: Would need to change the backs as well (minimum dust) or OK to run these pads on the front only. QUESTION 2: If existing pads are still OK then would I need to machine the existing rotors.
  8. I had my 2010 IS250 from new, and brake dust from day 1, so I think ANY alternative pads on the front would be a huge improvement, I am thinking ceramic. 45,000kms.
  9. The car is sold, did you buy it? I wouldn't worry about what the dealer says (unless it is a Lexus Dealership) because they really don't know. If you are after a Lexus then know your model, the group can help. I would know everything about the IS Series but nothing about the GS Series.
  10. It is a Prestige with Enhancement Package 2 - Mine is the same but a 2010, the Enhancement Package 1 comes with a moonroof but no camera (work that out)
  11. If you are looking at a IS250 2010 then I can advise you the specifics, the 2010 is the one with the clean front, not the one as pictured in one of the above post.
  12. Is is possible to have the year the ISF seat and possibly a photo or two?
