So thanks everyone for your replies. I had a new timing belt, water pump, and new spark plugs put in at 94k.

Feel much better about the car now. I spent a couple weeks driving my Suburban and then drove the Lexus the other day. Never mind about my complaints about the ride.

We call it the "Buttermobile" in my family lol. Rides like butter. What a great car!

Local Lexus dealer wanted $1,250.00 (plus 8.5 percent tax) for the timing belt and water pump. I got that plus new spark plugs for $1,012.45 at the Conoco my friend owns. He is a great mechanic and he also built my 535hp LS1 for my Camaro.

I have no doubt it is a great tire. I am happy however with the Bridgestone Serenity Plus set I just bought. Almost Zero road noise, great traction and good feel while cornering.

They are supposed to be 80k tires, we'll see.
