the abnormal wear is a common complaint on the GS430, as far as I have read it is an alignment issue that sounds like it is hard to resolve on the 430.

Check you tire sizes again, the OEM runflat size was 245/40-18. Secondly, I don't think 240 is a valid width for a tire. They usually come in increments of 10 starting at 185 (195, 205, 215, 215, 225, 234, 245, etc.)

Lastly you most definately can use non-runflats. I dumped mine this past year.

Hi Guys,

Replacing my run flats size 240/45/18 can i use non run flats size 245/45/18? I also have inside wear that I never saw untill the car was up in the air any info on this problem with this car?

Thanks

I have an 06 430, just purchased a month ago. I have tried several discs and get no display, had it at the dealer and they say its the discs. I think they are full of it. What cd's have you tried that show the name and song? I have tried newer & older cd's and still get no display.

Thanks,

Hi Guys, new to the board and close to buying a 2006 GS 430. What kind of spare tire comes with the car. The vehicle I am looking at has none, salesman tried to tell me they dont come with one as I am looking at the space in the truck for it! I hate care salesmen. It is CPO with 33,000 miles price $37,800......I think its a good deal any thoughts, Thank You

Mick

It should have a spare. '06 GS-430 came with the run-flat tires (which lasted just under 20K miles) and it came with a spare also. It's a sorry little donut tire, but you should at least have that. Since I didn't replace the run-flat tires with new run-flats, I'm glad it's there!

Thanks Guys, I got the car and the spare tire too. Thanks for the help, oh yea they only had one key so i made them get me and extra, then they found the original. Now I have three!!

Nope, I tried new CD's older CD's no burnt ones, still get no title info.

?

Hi guys, I am new here and thanks for all the info. Just purchased a 06 GS430 and love the car. I read in the manual you can adjust the length of time the entry lighting stays on, it says consult your dealer, anyone know how to do this? Also I have M/L system it does not seem to read the title and info on CD's any thoughts?

Thanks,

Mick

Hi guys, I am new to the board and I am close to buying a CPO 2006 GS430, loaded 33,000miles. Miles are a bit high but it will be a second car for me and will only put 10,000 a year on it. After reading these boards all day I had a question, inside the armrest i noticed a wire (I-pod) type plug that was def. aftermarket installed with a hole drilled in the front face for the wire to run, towards stereo. There is a Sirus radio wire with a small black box behind the rear headrests. Would that wire be for Sat. radio or I - Pod?

My personal mech. is looking over the car but just wanted some other input. Any suggestions would help.....got dealer to $38K seems fair to me for a CPO......thoughts?

Regards,

Mick
