ummmmmmm I will have to pay attention to that issue....If i were to answer off the cuff I would say it takes some light steering to keep the ole gal in her lane. My wifes Audi Q5 has heavier steering at highway speed and I would say her car tracks easier then mine. I have not had any suspension work done to my car and it has 140k on it. It is possible your MXV4s had a more square grip on the road vs a rounded grip if that makes sense. I will report back after my road trip regarding how she tracks. I am the same as you.....ultra tuned into what my car is doing. i often drive it with no radio on just to listen to the smooth tranny shifting. I have a lot of homework on this Thanksgiving road trip.......gotta do some burn outs!!
But seriously folks.....Boca.....can u get your car to do a burn out?

RRocket........what model Lexus and year do you have? With a user name like red rocket I assume you drive a little aggressive??? So maybe thats the threshold mark......for those like me that just cruise in their LS there are no issues at all on the wet surface....while the more aggressive drivers are seeing some slippage. Would that be a fair assessment?

Huh.....well thanks for the info.......I tell ya what....I already drive conservatively in the rain as it is......but given some posts like yours I will certainly keep that info in the back of my head. You didnt confirm nor did Legender that you have the All Season ( PLUS ) but I will assume that is the tire you have. Boca......did you get the PLUS version???? I hit the road tomorrow for a nice 4 hour drive....I can give u some feedback tomorrow if u like. PM me and I will give u my cell number......I can tell your all mixed up about this and want info asap.....I know what you are asking about a car tracking effortlessly......I am pretty sure I have to steer mine a bit......but again I have had zero suspension work done on my car except for alignments.

Then you have a darn nice tire my friend! Remember when u compare mine and yours.....mine are H rated....I believe u went with the V. I dont think you will be able to find a quieter smoother tire........just dont drive in the rain! Im kidding.......kidding

Maybe its a Canadian thing
U know they use slippery salt on their roads or somethin
Not sure about the Texas scenario............like I said...tire threads are all over the place.

Out of the box, on straight freeway at speed they where scarey initially but better now. They where 50 bucks a piece so I am happy buy em again? ya for 50 bucks for sure.
