Just for kicks...what brand tire did your 3GS come with from the factory?

This was not intended to be a "My Yokohama tires suck" thread. Just post what came on your car. Simple as that.

The reason why I made this poll, I recently saw a set of Michelins on a new GS350 Nav Only on a car being PDI'd at Lexus of Riverside today. The car was being filled up at the gas station but with all the plastic and etc. I glanced down and the factory 18" wheels and instead of the usual Dunlop or Yokohama, I was shocked to see the Michelins. I did not pay attention to which model but i'm guessing PS2 by the newest Michelin sidewall tire design.

The much agreed upon crappy Yoko's. I'll likely be replacing them with B-stones soon.

Post Fresno Lexus

The wife and I just walked our local Lexus lot tonight. They have six 2007 GS350's left. 2 Starfire Pearl, 2 Black Sapphire, 1 Matador Red, and 1 Obsidian. All 6 have Yokohamas.

I picked other, because when I bought the car they had those sh|ty *** yoko's on there. I was complaining the whole time we were test driving it. Apparently I complained enough because they put on a brand new set of Michelin Pilot HX MXM4's for me a week later at no charge!

My 3GS350AWD came with Dunlop Dunlop SP Sport 5000M DSST RunFlat.
I believe that the only option on AWD with the standard tires.

Wouldn't the correct answer to the question be Yokohamas
