Just bought lexus used from main dealer....

[gtrstill]

Just bought a lexus from a main dealer and today when the car was being detailed I find out the inside of the front tyres are smooth and there are cracks between the tread. Advice? Car was dropped off last tuesday

[Mr Happy]

Buy new front tyres.

[gtrstill]

Buy or ask them to buy

This. HTH.

[danjama]

what do you mean smooth? below legal?

If just the inside, car probably has other issues such as suspension/geometry.

[gtrstill]

Bridgestone or michelin...?

Should have checked this before agreeing the deal and again on delivery, too late now.

[gtrstill]

Below legal.

I was going to have the geo done but wondered where I stood as a consumer on this sh*t

Never too late

Don't ever go into sales

If it is only the inner edge then they are probably still legal, replace the front tyres and get the tracking checked.

You might find though that your car will wear the tyres inner edges, German saloon cars are particularly bad for this I don't know about Lexus though.

LOL, Approved Used Lexus, I'd be phoning the dealer first thing in the morning.

Err .....I'm in sales and an ex-car salesmen, however not sure what thats got to do with it? Assuming you signed for the car, you agreed to accept the car and therefore the condition of it at the time of handover. The dealer may be prepared to address the issue, however don't be surprised if they don't.

It's your car, not theirs.

He just responded to my email. Two new fronts will be sent down to me with a mobile fitter. Is calling me tomorrow to schedule.

Job done. Should never have doubted them.

Michelin or Bridgestone for the IS-F???

In which case, that suggests they knew all along. I assume they agreed to this without seeing the car again?

[Alfahorn]

Oh and Michelin.

[gtrstill]

Didn't see the car

Do bear in mind that Lexus tend to be know for exceptional after sales service, they might actually trust the customer...
