Will be interesting to see how the car handles once it has 4 matching AS4's on. Current tires are Nexen's from previous owner. Not sure if these are trash or not.

Default Said good bye to my wonderful 2016 GS 350.

Traded in my 2016 GS for any SUV as I got pretty tired of getting in and out as i advance in age. I do miss my baby though. It hassles given my 6 years of worry free driving. It’s not an F-Sport, but had every option available. Anyone looking for a great car in the ATL area check it out a https://www.porscheatlantaperimeter....z1bl4ga000909/

Congrats on your new SUV. Did you buy a Porsche?

Looks like you had the rare 16 Lux, with a rare interior color also. That's a nice GS you had.

I got them from Costco too, in and out stock pretty often, my fronts still AS3+.
Something to note on the AS4: Side wall is thicker (ev comparable), the load rating is higher than AS3+, the edges kinda round, Asymmetrical tread pattern, and made in Mexico. For the rubber compound, they are the same as AS3+.

Thanks, really could find no fault with this car. Feels like a loved one is gone.

Bought a genuine new Lexus brand battery for $153 since my original one is 6 years old. I don't care what y'alls say,Battery Tenders work! I got 9 years out of an original one on my Corvette which I probably shouldn't have pushed.

Generally, battery tenders do not extend the life of a battery, instead they are used to maintain a battery in a charged state or condition when the battery is in a vehicle which is seldom used.

Let's see now, $153 for a brand spanking new Lexus branded replacement battery with a 84 month (7 year) warranty that typically lasts at least 5-6 years - like your original battery did. That's about $2.13 a month or 7¢ a day or about 50¢ a week. So, for a little more than a nickel a day you think it is worth it to use a battery tender so you can brag about getting a couple extra years life out of a battery. Wow!

Think about that! a day!

That's about $2.13 a year or .0058¢ a day or about 4¢ a week.

Check you math. It's more like $22 a year rather than $2.
Just saying......

I meant $2.13 a month based on 72 months (6 yrs). But I divided by 365 days to get the day amount instead of 30, so then the week amount was off as well.

Should be: $153 ÷ 72 months = $2.13 Mo ÷ 30 = 7¢ a day x 7 = 50¢ a week

Thanks! I'll edit my post.

He didn't say $2, he said inaccurately $2.13 to be precise .
