Quiet tires for GS 350 "finally found them!"
Long story....short version. Got my gs 350 2007 w low miles. HUGE LET DOWN AFTER REalizing the YOKOHAMA TIRES ROAR!!!
I am female and want luxury ride, not sports car feel.
My sales person WOULD grab other cars when he noticed since he knew I wanted quiet tires ASAP
I HAVE TRIED:
Michelin. Primacy. Serenity. Touring etc
I got a call last week to drive one they traded for. It had 1/2 tread on something I never have even seen this brand called "Kumho!!! " All I know, is I have found THE QUIET TIRE!!! I ordered them at Sears.
Oh my gosh. If you want quiet "for real". Smooth!
I got Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum 2107193 - 245/40R18
For my 2007 GS 350
The Yokohama on my 350 roar!!! But i can turn a corner at 40mph with no issues; LOL
* IF someone likes the YOKOHAMA ; Message me. You can pay the freight and have them for free. The back two have half tread.....The front are not worth using. (the front is pretty worn)
I guess for "racing" sports car feel...then Yokohama is why it was rated great???
I actually would have returned my car but could not in Oklahoma w out an insurance $250 return policy. My GS 350 is in such mint condition and super low miles but i was so angry about the loudness that i thought my sanity was going because i am in my car at least 2 hours per day
SO NOW IT'S ALL PERFECT!
So, if you truly want a quiet tire. I have tested and looked and waited for 7 months.
My Lexus dealer, although DID NOT assist in helping me "buy" my new tires...THEY DID go beyond by calling me every time a GS 350 was in with an alternative tire so I could run up and drive it.
I had finally decided on the Michelin PS2 primacy UNTIL I drove the 350 last week with the Kunmho ECSTA LX platinum.
(note: in my research, I don't need a heavy snow tire .....so, you might reaerch the Kunho son performance if you need that).
The car handled very luxury feel. After researching it. I was shocked of all the cars that they are on! Mercedes , BMW 5 , Infinitic Cadillac cts and Lincoln.
Here is a link. Hope this helps anyone who cannot find "quiet tires"
