I know theres been much written and Ive done my research. I plan on putting on Bridgestones Turanza Serentiy Plus on my 04 330. I picked them for the low noise and decent handling/warranty. Just wanted to know if anyone has tried these and had good experience? thanks!!

Really? They have a tire named "Serenity"?
Are you sure it's not "Serenity Now"? That would be perfect!
I'd buy them for all my cars.

Question Need some good tires!

My wife's 2008 RX 350 needs new tires...AGAIN! Put on less than 20,000 miles on Michelin MXV4. The originals lasted basically the same number of miles. Michelin's are usually great but 3 years and 20k miles doesn't work. Anybody have a suggestion on good running (wet and dry) and that will last a bit longer?

Welcome to Club Lexus, H2013.

One of the most talked about topics here at CL and especially here in 2nd Generation where many of us have gone through multiple sets by now. There are already plenty of existing threads for you to read, such as:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...e-choices.html

Start at the end and work your way forward. If you use the search features of the forum you will find plenty more on the same topic. In short, the current thinking is one of the following tires to get, in no particular order:

Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season
Goodyear Assurance ComforTred Touring
Bridgestone Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia

That is assuming you have the 18" wheel package.

Our Goodyear Assurance Comfortreds now have somewhat more than 30,000 miles on them, and are way above the indicators. I never run tires below about 2x the indicator height, and these look like they will go another 20 to 30 k before they reach that point.

Don't neglect to check tire pressure. Low tire pressure is tough on tires.

I've got the Yokohama Parada Spec-X as well and very happy with these tires. Great traction and low road noise. About 25K on them so far.

I just had a set of Good Year Assurance ComforTred installed couple weeks ago and the ride is quiet and smooth, much better than the original. There is a Rebate up to $160 if you have Good Year Credit Card or Sears Card.

Finally got the Bridgestone Ecopia 422 from costco......REALLY wanna get Pirelli but it's $250+ difference vs. Bridgestone....

Drove about 100 miles so far.....MUCH quieter than the Alenza's....still waiting for the rain to come to report on wet traction.....
