    Japan - Emira Ownership (エミーラ納車とその後)

    I made this very intentional choice based on the usage of the Cup 2 LTS tires for the past year and a half that I've had the car. Not sure if I will be able to provide the kind of feedback you are looking for. The car is for grocery runs, cruising around the city, a few 500+ km trips and maybe...

    Japan - Emira Ownership (エミーラ納車とその後)

    街乗りユース中心なので、今回は AD09 を入れてみよう!これが1-2年持ってくれれば次はディーラーで Cup 2 LTS に戻るかも。交換作業はディーラーに持ち込まずに (予約も取りにくいし) タイヤメーカー直営店で交換してもらうことにしました。ホイールを丁寧に扱ってくれること、古いバランスウェイトをキレイに剝がしてくれることを強く希望します。 I will try on the AD09s at a local tire shop, and maybe return to the Cup 2 LTS rubber in a year or two.

    Too bad. Let us know when you have the car back! I understand. Perfectly. Yes, of course the dentist's appointment is higher priority. Please share pics! OK, so it looks like 10 Emiras tomorrow! For those approaching from Tokyo; set your sat nav to ノジマ三浦店 and turn north towards the cafe...

    How did you get/choose your forum name?

    Just wanted an online presence (sleek, muscular, athletic) unlike reality (always eating soft-serves).

    Did you have something mounted via suction cups? Or were playing obnoxious music? Did you have beans for lunch?

    Japan - Emira Ownership (エミーラ納車とその後)

    Happened upon a pre-2017/Dec model Toyota Alphard with the 2GR-FE port injection engine (not the later 2GR-FKS direct injection) parked near the office. All I see is spare parts... It actually is supposed to be a nice car, but the stereotypical clientele kind of ruined the public image...
