Default Tire brands

tires are dry rotting, just wanting to see what tires you guys went with, looking for quiet tires with great tread life. if it's not too much to ask wondering how much you spent on your tires as well.. thanks... i had sumotio tires on them and they sucked bad, these are also discontinued since they're bad tires...

BTW This is on the 07 AWD rx350

Even here in this section of the forums we have beat this topic to death... thread after thread after thread... such as:

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

Do yourself a favor, do some searching and some reading. Then, figure on spending quality money to get quality tires. There are good discounts available all the time, but you will spend some $175 to $200 per tire by the time you have them installed.

BTW, you do not say whether you have the stock 17" or optional 18" wheels and tires on your RX. Different tire choices available depending on size. Most of us here have the optional 18" tire size. Regardless, Sumitomo should not be one of those choices. Cheap, yes. Quality tire, no.

I guess those TireRack URLs timeout for some reason. Will redo the other URL as well. Suffice to say for the OP you can go to TireRack and have a look at the current tire choices. Discount Tires Direct is also another place you have have a look at selection and prices. You can also try your local Costco if you have one.

I've had good luck with Goodyear and Michelin. I've had Bridgestones on 2 vehicles and will never use them again, they don't last long.
I've had great experiences with Discount Tire, on matching Tire Rack and other prices, and their service.
