Looking for help. I personally feel the current stock tires on my 2014 GS F Sport ride rough. Is there a tire I can put on for a smother and more quiet ride.

Thanks for any advice

Try dropping the air pressure 2 pounds under door rating first.That should help a bit.

A lot of people including me concluded that the stock Bridgestone /Dunlops tires are crap on the GS F-Sport and ride hard no matter how you drop the pressure. Get rid of them and get the 245/40R19 Michelin Primacy MXM4 or Pilot Super Sport or Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires.

I love how smooth and comfortable my GS F-sport is with the Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires. Its still handles well with these tires.

Pilot SS on my F Sport and on eco and normal it floats around all comfy. Put it in Sport modes and the car gets very firm. I also upsized the tires for grip and little extra protection and cushion. 245/40/19 and 275/35/19 rear.

Thank you for your thoughts on this matter. I think I will go to the Lexus dealership since I only have 800 miles on the tires and see if they are willing to swap them for tires that give me a smoother and more comfortable ride. I am willing to pay for the use of my current tires but hope they want to keep a good customer satisfied and coming back. Your thoughts

I can't see the dealer doing a tire swap.The deal is done but doesn't hurt to try.

I have never been able to do this with Lexus. I doubt it will work but give it a try.

Looks like a tire swap is not in the making according to the reply's but I will try. Nothing to lose by asking,lol

They may give you a small amount back. But I did my tire swap before I took delivery of the vehicle.

I have the Dunlops and wish the car had decent Michelins

after doing some research, when I can't stand the Dunlops any more, I'll go with Michelin A/S 3

500 UTQG instead of 280 on the Dunlops and I expect a better ride and better wet performance too

front will be a 245 instead of 235

rear is correct OEM size

difference in diameter is minimal F to R -- rear is 100.37% of front vs. 101.57% with the different sizes

don't think that will cause a problem with the stability control system
