Default New to the 3rd gen GS family

Hello Everyone,

I just sold my ISF because I'm looking into buying a house but definitely still want to stay in the Lexus family and buy something more affordable. I'm going to pickup a 2006 GS 430 and need to change one of the rear tires because it has a bubble on the sidewall. Should I just change 1 tire or both rears? I'm looking for an all season, quiet and long lasting tire that doesn't break the wallet either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the 3rd Gen GS Family ! I would either go with BF Goodrich G-Force Comp-2 A/S, or Toyo Proxes 4 plus. I currently have the Toyos on my car now and they are quiet and smooth. I've had them on my car for over 20K miles and I still have a lot of tread on the tires. I will try the BF Goodrich when the Toyos wear out, based on the reviews on TireRack. Good Luck !

Congrats on the purchase! I would go w/ 2 tires. I'm sporting Nitto's 245/30 /20 on the front and 285/25/20 for the rear and the ride is smooth. Let us know what u decide.
