Mandyfig, please be sure to report back on how those Ecopia work out for you. I still have my Alenzas on with about 10K left of tread. Will probably want to stick with Bridgestone as I have a lifetime alignment there -- unless there is a superior product to pick. The Goodyears sound good, but perhaps not good enough to make the change.
Supposedly it will save me $600 a year. Low rolling resistance.
The Alenza is quieter based on comparison. So far it is as quiet as my Michelins.
It is wider in footprint for sure than the Michelins, like it.
It is warranted for 65,000. Miles.
Had it done with Costco, $70 off and service was superb.
Cannot complain.

Saves you $600 per year????
Noise was the major complaint regarding the Alenzas from others though I never thought it an issue. These are noiser? The Alenza are also wider than the Michelins which is one reason why I like them. Was not too thrilled with the OEM Michelins that came on my RX. Wanted a stiffer sidewall.
I see the Costco sale has been continued into the next sales flyer just received.

Those are the 18" option. Standard was 17" on the '08.
So far I like the Alenza's. I've always been a Michelin guy but a friend who works at a tire store and got me these last month for an out the door price of $748. For that price I was willing to give them a try.

Sorry I was not more clear. If you had the package with the 18" option +1 upgrade those were what you received. This as opposed to the chrome, ThunderCloud, hybrid or other optional selections depending on year and edition. The ThunderCloud and hybrid wheels were available only with those editions. Everything else was a dealer charged accessory upgrade.
The 18" +1 wheel was pretty much the same for the 2nd Generation run of the RX.

$600 for the life of the tire, just saw the AD from TV last night. Too good to be true to save $600 a year...LOL. My bad. Paying attention huh?
All in all, I like it.
Being GREEN is the fad nowadays...
