How do you get a dealer to change tire brands on 330?
How do you get a dealer to change the stock Goodyear RS-A's tires to a Michelin MXV4 S8 tires?
-tell them it is to loud...
-tell them it shakes...
-tell them you don't like goodyears
What must I say/do to make them change the tires?
NOTE: I haven't picked up the RX330 yet.

Interesting. I had the same question, except that I wanted the Goodyear's. I think that the road noise on the Michelin's are quite load. But, I guess I was wrong. I guess my next set won't be Michelin or Goodyear.
What determines whether a particular vehicle comes with Goodyear or Michelin's?

Being OEM, I wouldn't expect either tire to be great, but I am a bit confused that the Michelins are rated to only 35psi. That isn't very much margin from the recommended inflation.

I have the RX330 with the performance package and Michelins tires. The car does handle really well. Based on what I see overall of Lexus, its service and quality, I dont think Lexus would have put a "bad" tire on the RX. Both Goodyear or Michelin tires are probably fine.

I do find it a bit strange, though, that the Michelin's have that maximum 35 psi rating - I don't remember any other tire being this low and I do wonder about it. When I tow my boat on a long trip with the FX35, I always inflate them to near 40 psi, and I'm not sure what I would inflate the RX330 tires to if I were use it for towing - 35 I suppose.
