We just added a 2008 RX350 to the fleet and like the car so far. It does need tires in the front as they are worn. The rear has a relatively new set of Pirelli Scorpio Verde tires. I'm not a fan of them as I find them noisy as they age. I want a tire that will be quiet on the highway and yield the best gas mileage. What type of tires do you have? What do you recommend? The tire sites are a lot more confusing than they used to be, hence the question.

 

When I bought my RX, it had new Michelin tires on it. They were pretty good all the way around, traction, noise, etc. Down side is that they wore out pretty quick. I have Goodyear now but they are definitely noisier.

 

Lots of threads on tires, but take a look at the Michelin Defender LTX M/S. The one to avoid, the Michelin Premier. Quiet tire, but worn at 27k.

 

cooper, very quiet,. good grip, and long mileage

 

I have the same car, and I am absolutely happy with the Michelin Premier. Michelin sells a whole lot of them so there must be a reason for it.

 

I have michelins on my rx400h right now, believe they were dealer installed. They are getting towards the end of their life, but I will check the model and what mileage they were installed.

edit: oh, and they are nice and quiet, and handled snow fine past winter.

 

My experience with 2004 RX330 AWD with 235/55/18 tires in Colorado. As always, YMMV.

 

My tires are 4 years old and have about 20k miles on them. Id say they have maybe 10 or 15k miles left. Not great.

 

I love the Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus tires I have on my rx400h. Quiet, handle well and reasonably priced compared to other tires folks like on their RXs.

 

just to follow up, my tires are Michelin Energy MXV4 S8 tires.

 

Plus 1 for Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus!

 

I gather it all depends on your driving style and preferences - in the same thread Micheline Premier was frowned upon by one contributor and praised by another.
My Michelin Premier A/S has just passed 50K mark after 4 years of use and still has plenty of life in them. Quiet, secure handling and stamina to NY weathers - both hot and cold. Michelins are known for their occasional dry rot problems, but their warranty department thru a dealer is outstanding. I am prepping for another set in about 10K or less.

 

Michelin Latitude Tour on my wife's 08 RX350. Ride is good and quiet. The down side is price.
