Default Need recommondation for new tire

I am currently used Continental Extremecontact dws tire, it was nice and quiet ride, but is wasn't extraload! The sidewall are kind of flat, even I had the right pressure! Do I need extraload? Please share you opinion!

If you bought hybrid for better mpg, you need LRR tire - low rolling resistance. I can't stop praising Yokohamas I had. GREAT tire.

Lexus says to run 30lbs,I believe for ride comfort, but since this vehicle is about 4100-4200 lbs......I run 35lbs. I've had those same DWS tires & they ride pretty good.....Continental has since upgraded the DWS's to DWS06, which they;ve stiffed up the sidewall which has enhanced the cornering performance.....If your looking to replace your tires, I'd have a look at the different reviews @ http://tirerack.com

I have the Yokohama yk740 on my 2009RX350 and I like them very much. The RX handles very well with them. I have not had them in the snow yet here in Colorado

Bridgestones are great too. I use Costco to get them if they are on sale. Can not beat the price and the service.
