Default What brand tires?

Hi all, I was wondering what brand tires you have on your hybrid RX, whether they are 18" or 19", and if you like them.

19" Michelin's. So far they are quite, smooth and great handling. I was hoping for the Bridgestones but so far these are doing great.

Same here. We got the 19 inch Michelins. They seep preety good, but I am not an expert in this area.

Thanks. The 450h I took on a test drive in had the 19" Dunlops. I didn't even know Dunlop made tires for the RX. They were ok. I talked to my sales guy about switching out to the Michelins if mine comes in with anything else. He said he'd work with me.

Cruiter, the Bridgestones got butchered on Tire Rack for noise. I might be wrong but isn't the quietness of a hybrid part of the appeal? Sure, the stereo will be on but the peace is nice.

I asked that the 19" Dunlops be switched to Michelins before we bought our AWD and dealer did.

I asked the dealer to do the same if it comes in with other than Michelins. I'm sure they will. Thanks
