I guess I am one of the rare one that got the Bridgestone Runflats

flipside909

Turanzas? Or something else?

whlkev

yup, Turanzas EL42

only had experience with the Bridgestone Potenza S-02, hope these can hold up

spwolf

mine as well... I gotta wonder whats gonna happen when I put new winter tires? My car will start flying and will not produce any sounds hearable by human ear? :-).

I like how it drives on Dunlops as it is...

Mine came with the yokohamas even though I asked the dealer to trade them out for the michelins. My sales guy said there is no way they would do it for me (and I had already signed the papers etc.). The noise isn't bad now but I only have about 300 miles so far. How do yo u get them to switch them out?

My '08 came with Yokohama Advan A10 F, apparently this is the latest version replacing the A10 B that everyone's complaining about. According to TireRack, the A10 F is an ultra performance summer tire, and costs $308 a pop (this is more than the Michelin PS2s). I'll give them a shot to see if Yoko fixed the noise issues with this latest version. . .

My 08 AWD came on Dunlops too, if they are as bad as you guys say, I cannot wait until they change because I like them as is.

The G Man

My 08 came with Dunlops too. They are not bad IMO either. A little slippery in the snow and a tad of tire noise on the highway but very good on dry road. When it comes time for tire replacement, I think I will not go with run flat anymore.
Does anybody think the run flats, since they have stiffer sidewall, makes the car bumpier and handles better around corners?

i just purchased a 08 gs350 it came with yoko's and they have been great. i have 2200 miles on them and they are as quiet as can be. maybe it is the luck for the draw when getting them as i had terrible issues with pirelli's on my jag. the noise was unbearable.

My 08 GS350 came with Yokohama. They are fairly quiet, but a little bumpy.

Yoko Advan A10B's

Just now noticing they suck, they started breaking away on the back end around 8k miles (subjective based on wear) but they are still in good tread condition.
Started noticing noise (slapping) around 11k miles. I have checked for an object or unusual wear so like you all have said, I guess they just suck.

Nasty old Dunlop's. Lexus should be ashamed of their tire offerings. Now have Goodyear F1's. Stick like glue, smooth ride, decent value (about $225 per.), awesome rain tire. Downside: Bumpy when cold, Probably less than 20,000 life expectancy, Track badly on uneven surfaces. Would buy again.

Anybody had Lexus try and replace tires with Toyo brand?

flipside909

Servco Lexus operates a little differently than Lexus USA (mainland) dealerships.

Toyo is OE on certain Lexus models including the ES. It never was an OE tire offering for the GS.
