Tires and gas

Walking into a tire store with a bathroom scale - My chuckle of the day.

Such eccentricity might be tolerated if you go in with a thick German accent
and say “this is how we prepared for the autobahn back in the Fatherland”.

I know a guy who correlates oil filter weight with quality

In his mind, the filter that weighs more is better

It’s the “Fatherland” . . . not the “Homeland”

LOL

Michelin of course. I have right now on my RX 450h AWD Pirelli Scorpion, but they are way more noisy than Michellin Defender, Latitude and Premium.

Lexus RX 450h can use regular, it’s not required like w/ turbo engines for 3.5L V6 Atkinson-cycle even on hybrid version.

Bring a hybrid has nothing to do with octane. What does the owner’s manual say?
