New tires...any recomendations?
I am purchasing new tires for 1999 RX300, does anyone have an opinion on what ALL SEASON tire they like for this car. I have all four seasons in upstate NY.
Thank you

I have Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza.
They are a lot more expensive than the Kumho Solus product though.

I had Michelin LTX MS2's installed about a year ago. Bought them at tire rack. $70 rebate at the time. Not cheap, but I love them. I considered the Kumho's, also. I've heard they're very good!

I did some extensive research for my 4Runner just a few weeks ago and I ended up with Pirelli Scorpion ATRs, its a very mild AT tire. You probably want to go with a HT thread on a Lexus, my top choice there was the Michellin Latitude Tour then Bridgestone Alenza. I wasn't happy with my old Mich Cross Terrain (slippery on ice). You probably want a tire with a lot of sipes to aid in traction (specially in winter) that also interlock to help while braking and cornering. HT would yield the most rubber per sq.inch in contact with the road hence better traction/acceleration but AT would have more spaces between the blocks so it won't fill up with snow/slush as fast as a HT thread design but less rubber in contact with the road. I hope I explained that right. Oh yeah the LatTour and Alenza both have 65K mile warranties on them.
