This may be of some help with selecting tires. I have,also, been looking for tires for my 18' G-spiders and came across these:
tire ($190 each). According to Passenger Tire Surveys submitted to Tire Rack, this tire was rated higher than the Pilot PS2 according to consumers.. See this website: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/survey...ay.jsp?type=MP ,and this for a comparision between the RE050A and PS2: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/...lay.jsp?ttid=1 . Do not confuse this with the Potenza RE050A. This is the "Pole Position w/ UNI-T". This is a "Max Performance Summer" tire. If you need an all season tire then look here: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/survey....jsp?type=HPAS . Having said that, a lot of GS3'ers still prefer the Pilot PS2.
Good luck on your quest for a tire to suit your needs.

**UPDATE**
Ordered my exhaust last night. Went with the Tanabe Medallion Touring. Broke down and ordered the Tein H Tech Springs as well!! Should I just wait 4 weeks and have Lexus install all of this stuff at the same time?

Hey guys,
Just bought a silver 07 gs350, so far, have tinted windows, and put on chrome grill. Have pics throughout the process and will post before and afters of those shortly. Long story short, ordered my wheels today!! Went with these http://www.dcrwheels.com/wheels.html# the Hockenheim's.
Went all chrome to keep the theme going from the chrome grill.
20/9 front
20/10 rear
3' lip for rear
2' lip for front
Nitto 555
Fulcan fk452
245/30/20 front
275/30/20 rear
Still debating on which tires....any thoughts?
Also, anyone have thoughts on what exhaust is best? looking into that aswell and want to get it all put on at one time.
Thanks!

Nice Flex...like I said b4...you're ride is gonna be nice!!! I'm surprised your Lexus dealershipis installing your intake and exhaust. Thought for sure they would say no....becuase of warranty issues....speaking of warranty...does installing your intake and exhaust void your warranty?
If it's no hassle ...could you PM me and give me a ballpark on how much the install was?
Thanks....Brian
Gotta see pics Flex!!!

Ask and you shall receive.....here are the pics!! Just had the exhaust installed today with the K&N intake!!
The exhaust has a 1-2 day period where some smoke will burn off b/c of the Advantex technology, so snapped a pic of the smoke coming out too! haha
