My dealer did not want a deposit either. Arrowhead Lexus. They at no time attempted to screw me, in fact they went out of their way to make the deal work. Very happy with them.
19's can come with the Bridgestones or Michelin's. I requested the Michelin's and the dealer made it happen. They had to take them off another RX, but they did it.
We requested the Michelin's too. The difference in ride and noise of our RX and the loaners, which don't have the Michelin's, is an entire world apart. Without the Michelin's the RX becomes another car, and not an attractive one.
I had the Luxury package with a RX built in Japan and it came with the Bridgestones. The dealer changed them for me. I think it's a crap shoot on what you get.
