Default quiet tires

Yes but what tires?? I have been thru Tire Rack forums and there are so mant conflicting reviews about quiet don't know what to believe!!! Plus many that fit 18"wheels on the 2010 350RX do not fit the damn 19" wheels I have!!!!

Tire noise and road noise is definitely different. Is it enough to take a huge bath on trading the RX? Perhaps not, but at its age it wouldn’t be a huge bath.

Road surface noise is an is an issue for Lexus, very tire dependent. The LS is less so, but still important.
