rick9194, the '10 has been out a year now so we won't really know mileage/wear for a while on the OEM tires. I say 19" is the way to go, but do you want to quibble over the cost of tires as long as they perform well? 95k is way too long in my book to have tires on a vehicle. Yes, Michelins are good but that's pushing it.
IMO safety and performance is key, hence why I have put up with less than stellar tire wear.

I had about 70-80 K with a set of Michelins on a AWD SUV before I traded the car in. This mileage was accumulated over a period of 7-8 years, and I was starting to worry about dry rot -

rick9194, don't get me wrong, I know Michelins are great. I put a set of non-OEM Michelins on the '99 that probably could have gotten close to 70k. I traded it in before I could find out. They looked brand new after 35k and were true SUV tires. But I tend to change my tires a few thousand miles before I have to, in the fall before the bad weather sets in. And I don't have them on for more than four years. Bottom line, tires are too important to me to take any chances, especially after the winter we just had.

I have the Dunlop tires on my 2010 RX, and I've got over 21,000 miles on them. So far they're in good shape.
I had the Goodyear Eagles on my 2007 RX, and I got over 38,000 miles on those. I thought that was pretty good considering others complained about the Goodyears not getting past 20,000 to 25,000 miles on them.

I have just passed 41K on the OEM Dunlops. They gotta go! My 40K service last week showed inner rim wear, which means alignment issues to me. That will be fixed after the new tires are on.
So I'm scheduled next Friday to have them replaced with the Yokohama Parada Spec X 19" tires. Ordered from TireRack.com, with the Road hazard option. Out the door at $870, including shipping. Installation will be an additional ~ $100 at my local Big O tire shop.
I am REALLY looking forward to not having the Dunlops any more.

As long as they can be reset and weren't damaged in the tire change you don't need to replace them. If they aren't reading (i.e. you get in the car and the little light is on) then you need to replace the faulty unit(s) Some folks will replace them no matter what citing safety concerns with an older set of sensors. I put 3 sets of tires on my ES without replacing the sensors and had no issues over a course of 75K miles.

The sensor batteries are rated for a life of between 5 - 12 years, with an average of 7 years. My '06 IS is coming up to six years old and no issues with the original sensors. They should be worry free for at least 5 years, and probably more.
