Default ***PLEASE ADVICE...Need new RX350 Tires***

Hey All....

My 08 RX350 has about 42k on it and dealership says that it is in need of new tires. Our RX came with the stock Michelin tires, and a full spare with a brand new tire on it.

Now hear me out....

My lease for this car will be up in AUGUST, so I do have a few months before it is up. (3) new tires will be needed, because I plan on using the new spare as the 4th. Times are a little rough, and spending $800-900 on new Michelins is not very probable. You guy's have any suggestions?

Thanks in Advance!

Going to replace all of them tomorrow, with the same OEM Michelins. They treated me good, esp in snow.

I'm going with Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Highway All-Season tires on my '09 when Bridgestone has the $100 rebate in a couple on months.
Throw on some cheap Kumho Road Venture APT KL51 ($119) because it's a lease turn in soon.

So just to finalize this thread....

Ended up just buying 4 new Michelin OEM Energy tires. Very happy with the outcome, great tires, ride is smooth, quiet, and everything I can ask for! Lets hope these get another 40-50k on um!
