  1. I switched to regular tires and bought from Tirerack their Continental inflaror kit which for $75 includes an excellent air pumpt and a bottle of sealant which is supposedly safe for TPMS. Takes up a lot less space than the spare!!!
  2. I purchased the same time - replacing the run-flats - and also am VERY pleased with the improved ride. However, the tire dealer says he cannot reset the air pressure sensors , so the light on the dash is always on. He told me only a Lexus dealer can reset them. Is he giving a me a line of crap? Lexus dealer installed new Bridgestones and tried THREE times to get the RFT not to leak. Dash light came on each time when tire pressure dropped to 20lbs. Finally out of frustration I went to local Discount Tires...they solved it in 15 minutes. Said dealer put back old sensor and didn't take the time (or lacked the experience) to make sure it, and the new tire, "seated" properly when replacid. Sensor was $5.15...labor by Discount Tires $0. Dash light re-set and went out. Granted the guy was an old "tire hand" with tons of experience, so ask around for who has been there at the shop the longest. Guess where I'm buying my next tires... Went with Bridgestone 960 AS about 6 months ago. Running 40 lbs in all four. Bought (also from Tirereack) the Continental inflator kit (haven't used it yet). Everything is perfect. Wonderful ride quality with good responsiveness. Couldn't stand the OEM Dunlop SSTs.
  3. That is good, make sure you have the tranny fluid changed every 15k miles from now on, Good luck
