Default Best decision

Couldn't find the car I wanted in Florida but eventually found a 2005 TAP with only 4500 miles in New Jersey and had it shipped down. What a great car!! I had already made up my mind, based upon everyones dislike of the run-flats, to disgard the original Dunlop 5000'srun-flats and have 4 Bridgestone Serenity Pluses installed. HUGE difference in ride quality, quietness, and tracking! Now that I have conventional tires I ordered the oem spare tire kit on ebay through Concord Lexus in California. Not cheap by any means but I look at it as icing on the cake. Once again, thanks to the website and all of the contributors for helping me make a great purchase decision on terrific car for a beautiful lady, my wife.
Three weeks ago I purchased a 2008 SC430 with 29K miles. I had been searching for some time and also had to go out of state. The first thing I did was dump the run flats and install an inexpensive set of Yokohamas as one of the run-flats had a screw and could not be fixed. Of course the dealer said I must had got it on my drive home. Yesterday I installed the spare wheel kit from Sewell ($792) for forum members and it was very easy to do and had everything needed. I would suggest you purchase a clip removal tool. I got one on Amazon for about $10 and it made the clip removal a breeze. I ordered the Lisle 35260 Plastic Fastener Remover tool and it worked very well.
