Getting better handling tires for the ES350...without huge ride quality sacrifice.

Same experience with the lousy Yoko Avid Z rated OEM tires on my 07 GS350. So many complaints about this tires, Lexus allowed many owners to trade in the tires for Michelin PS2 at no or small cost to the owners. I waited too late and do not qualify after 2 1/2 yrs. However, increasing the pressure of the tire improved the lousy handling and the ride instead of feeling so squashy now feels a bit more to our liking. It still makes howling noises at all speeds. Last time I'll ever get Yokos in any of my future purchases.
