Silver,
They're the Mich. Pilot HX MXM4 18" (OEM) They're quiet enough but my first choice would've been the Bridgestone Turanza Serenity..they are whisper quiet.

I should manage big mileage on the Michelins. Reasonable trade off.

She is immaculate Nick. Dealer did some additional blemish work but the original owner took great care of her. Even the windshield is flawless. Great to be part of the Lexus family again after 7 years. I don't know what the heck I was thinking!!!! Slightly delusional driving a GM. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip on the Bridgestone Serenity, I might try them because quiet high mileage tires are my priority since I don't have to deal with snow and rain.

The warranty on the Serenitys is 5 years/45000 but you'll probably get over 60k. These Michelins aren't bad though. The quiet interior is very forgiving until we crank the Levinson to about 50. My daughter thinks I'm cool again!!

rolloman,

In looking at the pics it looks like the interior is cashmere since it is more tan. Are you sure it is alabaster? Regardless, the car looks great, even the deadpedal area is in perfect shape.

Funny you would mention that Pat but my wife swears it's Parchment which I believe is what you're referring to. I think Cashmere is an exterior color.

We both think the dealer listed the wrong interior color but didn't mention it since Parchment is the color I wanted. I'm 99.5% sure it is indeed Parchment. I know that our salesman is on this board so now he knows. No harm done though. Very pleased with the color combo even though it will take some elbow grease to keep clean. Gonna apply several coats of Zaino shortly. She deserves it.

Check out the link below to the 2009 brochure. If it is alabaster it is only available with the dark brown ash wood color vs. the medium brown walnut you typically see. Also, the Zaino leather cleaner is a must if you wear jeans in the car. I found that it works great in taking out the blue stains in the leather for both of my cars.

Yup, it's definitely cashmere Pat. Not quite as light as Alabaster. Thanks for the Zaino tip with jeans. Good to know.

Hi Nick,

My car passed the 3rd party inspection and Lexus had my check ready for me.

When I got there the 2009 was gone, they had a 2010 LS460 swb, with Comfort Package, Navigation, Power Trunk and Doors, Intuitive Parking Assist with 15k miles on it. They said the price was $59,900. I think this is too much! My guess would be around $54,000 to $56,000. I will ask them to add the chrome rims and the Extended Warranty for 8 years 100,000 miles. It did not have the ML sound system.

For anyone out there shopping, I will soon be selling my '08. I ordered my '12 at the beginning of the month and it should be here around Oct. 1. If anyone has any interest please PM me. Car is flawless!! Many, many coats of Zaino, no scratches or dings.

You should have waited for the redesign to come out.

Yes, I've already heard that before...
