After I bought the Tours, I was messing around on the Michelin website. They don't recommend the Tour for the RX330. I'm sure they'll be fine and as I posted above I have them on another vehicle. But I would have considered the Premier AS.

Default Michelin Latitude Tour

Had 4 Latitudes put on a couple of weekends ago - wish I had gotten the deal mentioned above - but was eligible for the $70 rebate. Snowing like crazy in New England this year and they have been handling and stopping just fine.

On my 2009 RX the Goodyear Assurance SUCK. Going on 65k and they are LOUD as in hitting 82 db on some concrete bypasses. DO consider the Continental control contacts as they dropped the db & road noise in my wife's IS350c by avg 5db +-2db.

I have Continental ContiPro on the Mercedes, they are extremely quiet. In fact I am on my second of Continental ContiPro on the same car, I like how the tires handles, low noise and durability.
I do not know how the Continental ContiPro will do in the RX, i just replaced tires and went with the Michelin Premier A/S. I am extremely happy with the Michelin on the RX, it is a quiet tire.

If you're using either tire and have input please let me know. Thanks.
For years I have been using Hankook Tires on all my rides. They have a tire guaranteed for 100,000 miles. They ship FREE. (online) $131.00 each, NO tax, no disposal fee,

Tire Size P 225 /55 R17 95T SL BSW ($131.00)
Mileage Warranty 100,000 Miles
UTQG 700AB
Load Range SL
Speed Rating T

Tire Size 225 /55 R17 97W SL BSW ($123.00)
Mileage Warranty 50,000 Miles
UTQG 500AAA
Load Range SL
Speed Rating W *

Don't need the W over the T, and the W only half the guaranteed mileage.

Should you have to replace a tire, they will send a NEW one to you, wherever you are,and they don't want the old tire back. This is good if you are not at home.

Just a thought!

Default Good luck

Had the latitude on my 08 400h with 65k , went with the Yokohama YK580 . worlds better in ride and quite and just about everything BUT the Mich. had 4-32 left so not really fair. My wife and daughter said they could tell the difference . Wanted or looked at Bridgestone H/L Ecopia but I bought the 580 due to what I read and heard AND 164 total each AND 200 back from Discount tire. Ecopia would have cost more.
Hard to tell on MPG due to very cold weather and wind.
You will like what ever tire you get there are a lot of good tires out there What you have heard from other owners says it all its hard to say which one is better than another. Heck every review had one person who scores them real low or really high.
At least you are getting new tires ..
