Don't forget to look at one of our forum sponsors site "Tire Rack" for tests, reviews and owner ranking of most of the major tire brands. Some very good info there.

Default Happy with Goodyear

Nail appeared in our tire sidewall which inspired us to buy new tires to replace our Michelin LX4s. We reviewed all the info regarding the Michelin Energy LX4s, the Bridgestone Alenza, Goodyear Assurance ComforTred Touring, Yokahoma, etc. We opted for the Assurance ComforTred Touring due to some promos and high marks in this thread and via Consumer Reports. Needless to say, this tire is GREAT! THough we have little mileage on them, they are quiet and grip wet pavement very well. Still have many mile to go, but we recommend this tire for the RX330.

I think I have about 7500 miles on the GoodYear tires now. I would buy them again at this point. Since we didn't have much a of a winter in SE Ohio, I couldn't comment on snow traction. These have felt good, haven't lost any air, are quiet and responsive. My wife's RAV4 will need tires later this year - and if GoodYear runs the same deal as last year, she'll get these instead of the stocker Yokohamas. I think the Michelin Latitude Tour would have been a good choice, too, but with the rebate we got ($160) I couldnt' pass it up.

Went with Bridgestone Dueller Ecopia, so far so good.
Much like the Michelins except the price.

I have the Scorpion Verdes on my 450h. Put them on a little over a month ago and only 500 miles on them so far. I like the ride, probably too firm for others. Warranty is comparable to OE Michelins. but higher tread wear rating. Cheaper too.

I put the Pirelli Scorpion Verde on my Rx350 in mid March. I like the ride, very quiet. I haven't had a chance to try out the stopping power in the rain. Looking forward to see how they perform in the snow. I bought it because of the tread thickness. I don't see much of a difference at the pump like they claim but I'm happy with my purchase. The streets are bad where I'm at, they wore down the OEM's pretty quickly, so I'm hoping these last longer.

Just purchased a 2012 RX 350 with 19" wheels and went straight to Tire Discount where they traded in my Dunlop Grand Trek 235/55R19's for (4) Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season. Just on the ride home I noticed they were quieter, handled more precisely, and soaked up road irregularities better. I'm told they'll last 2X as long as the Dunlops and better in wet and snow.
