So, I have a question for anyone in the Chicago area who drives on Route 88 (The Reagan), the Kennedy or any of the many other transverse/wavy grooved concrete highways in the area I have a 2018 RX450h w/the 20' tires. The ride on these types of highways is not good in my RX - trammlining and vibration through the floor into the seats of the car. Passenger seat and drivers side mirror shake. It's very uncomfortable ride. Alignment, tire pressure, balance - have been checked numerous times and deemed by all as OK. Ride along determined all is normal. I guess it could be all in my head - or, has anyone else had (or have) a similar experience on these types of roads?

It's your tires, try switching them out. Really depends on the way the tread is designed. I hate driving on grooved highways for this reason alone, my IS does it (Mich PS A/S3+), but neither my RX or Yukon do it (or at the very least I don't really notice it. Both have Michelin Premier LTX's)
