Did you notice a huge MPG hit when going from 225 to 235?

I used to get 21 mpg with 225 and I got 20.x with 235 now.

Thanks for the reply posts

Thank you everyone for your input. Since our RX is in the Northeast and we do travel often in snow and slush, I'm leaning toward the Michelin Cross Terrains or the Bridgestone Alenzas.

We put Goodyear TrippleTreads Fortera tires on our 2001 Lexus RX300. They are awesome in all weather conditions. Check out the reviews at tirerack.com.
