LOL, hate comes from general perception of lower profile RF tires on many sporty vehicles. High profile tires like the 60 series will not notice much of harsh, louder noise, and heaviness but noticeable on 50 series. 45 and below will definitely noticeable and many hate it for that reason.

I had these on my ES300h and they were quiet and comfortable. That's what I want for my NX. The run flats have got to go!

hey quick question, did you bring in those tires yourself or the dealer had them?

also, did you have to buy new rims as well?

The car was a dealer demonstration car. I bought it with 1,850 miles and six months old. The factory runflats had been replaced by the dealer at the time with Michelin tires. On the original rims.

I'm thinking to stick with 245.50.20 instead of factory 235.50. Because of i dont like too much gap between the fender i have now with stock tires.any pictures who already have chose 245.50 would be helpful.
btw do f sport models have lower springs?or different shocks.i have a luxury trim 350h and notice sport models sit lower than mine

Ground clearance on all gas models are 8.1, hybrids are 7.3 inches. There doesn't appear to be any difference with sub models like F Sport etc.
