Default 2 Weeks with our SC430

We have had our 2006 SC430 for a little over two weeks now, things I've learned thanks to this forum.
Don't operate the top without the engine running.
I registered the car on the Lexus Drivers site and am able to access all service records etc.
The jury is still out on keeping the run flats, they do ride rough, going to the dealer Saturday to talk about takeoffs and other options.
Clear bra installed on hood (18") and fenders.
The SC is the best, can't wait till the weather warms up to enjoy the car with the top down!!!
Thanks

If you get rid of the run flats your car will be much, much smoother. You will also notice better handling and traction. In my opinion it was a night and day difference in my car. I have Michelin pilot super sport. The dealer will rip you off if you buy tires; I personally prefer tirerack.com due to the lower price and extensive tire research via surveys. Hope this helps!
