Bridgestone Dueler 840 at costco for $144/EA plus $15 installation/EA plus additional $70 discount. Not bad for 65K miles. The original tires is also the same Brand and exact model. Oh, they are Made in USA too.

Lexus put the same tire on mine just before I bought it so they could CPO the car. Seems decent so far, winter will be the test.

I have had both and prefer the Michelins over the Duelers, however the Duelers I had were 684's which is ranked horrible on Tire Rack. One of the most important thing to check on a tire is the UTQG ratings which indicates treadwear, The higher number the longer your tires will last. Obviously other things effect tire wear as well like under/over inflation, agressive driving and lack of rotating them. Ive seen low UTQG ratings like Dueler 684's of 150 and as high as some Michelins in the 700's. I believe the Dueler 840 has a rating of 300, not bad for the price.
