Steering feels a little heavier for low speed turns and more steering wheel feedback for road imperfections at highway speeds. Could be the Dunlop RF tires or the 'Lexus driving Signature' changes - whatever that is

DUNLOP SP SPORT MAXX 050 DSST CTT



Lexus Driving Signature

For 2023, the LC 500 embraces Lexus Driving Signature through the vehicle’s dynamic handling characteristics. Front and rear suspension settings have been optimized to enhance ground contact feel, linear steering response, and steering effectiveness in the high cornering G range. With nimbler vehicle handling, Lexus Driving Signature creates a sharper connection between driver and vehicle.

Interesting car collection - AMG GT was a potential choice for me but seem in short supply. Do you like it?

Also the SC430 as must be rare in Canada - down here if FL seems to be a time capsule for clean 20yr old SCs.

Hi, could you be more specific regarding the issue he had with the infrared paint? I have a 2021 Infrared and have had no issues but I'm wanting to order a 2023 and want to make sure something hasn't changed. What was his issue and what year was his build. Thank you.

Best, Christopher

He believes it chips easier than any car he's ever had. Do a google search for Infrared paint issues and you'll see a few report same, but may just be opinion .
