2008 Lexus GS 350AWD

Today I go to head out and hear then see my right rear tire is flat. So instead of putting spare on I thought I would just take tire off, take it over to Discount Tire and have it checked out since they are so close to me.

I go and take everything out and something seems to be missing. Then it hit me...the entire plastic area with all the tools. So I start to think about it and the last peope to ever be in there was Discount Tire last April when I got 4 new Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires. I just never noticed becuase I never had to get that deep to the spare. Of course I ask them about it today as a longshot but they say they would never leave anything out of the trunk when putting the spare back in. Uh huh. Oh well, luckily I had a 21 MM socket, good extension and ratchet to get the tire off.

Any ideas of replacing? Thanks all!

On another note those DWS ROCK! My BMW is awesome in the snow with these tires.

Yah, I went tooling around on Ebay. Nothing that is close to the GS350. I'll keep looking. Might have to explore other "options"

passnu2 - I love these tires and now I have a brand new one one the right rear LOL. I might have to go back there and have them check and rotate all the others since now I have 3 that are a year old and one brand new. They are so much cheaper now than they were even last April.

Ya I just slapped on a set of DWS aswell, pretty quiet running tires compared to my falkens I had on there. The nice thing about them is they have 50k mile warranty, hard to find that in 20's

This should work

This is for an IS but I am sure it is the same, and not badly priced

I love them. So much better than the Dunlops runflats that came with the car. Night and day. I think when I changed last year they made me sign something saying that runflats were the OEM on the car and I understood the DWS' were not. Duh. About the 50k warranty, I had to pay $30.00 for the new tire this weekend since I used for almost 2 years (was Arpil 2011 not 2012) LOL So that's about 40k miles. I'm going back tomorrow to see if they want to change the other 3 for the same amount

Thanks for the links...I asked the junk yard guy a question. We will see and I'll keep looking . It's really not that big of a deal. I can just go out and but a 21 mm tire wrench.
