The depth of tire thread of my Certified RX varied between .156 - .218 Tires on the Vehicle were Michelin Latitude Tour 101V.
Winter is coming and probably will need to be replaced with a another Michelin.
Don’t know which one it will be be. Looking for Ride, Quiet and Wear. Any thoughts?
I’ve combed through forty some pages of the Tire Forum but so many different opinions many of those posts are Old. Suggestions are certainly welcomed Thx
Any opinions on the Pirelli Scorpion Verde A/S Plus?
In the 18" size, it seems to be a heck of a deal at $120/tire. Tirerack is recommending it as their top value.
Two years ago I listened to Tirerack and purchased Michelin Premier A/S for my RAV4 and those were horrible tires. The new Premier LTX are designed just like the A/S. Went to Costco today and they are recommending the Premier LTX for my RX350, 19” wheels but just don’t know. Michelin has a 30 Day trial and that may be just the ticket. These are cheaper then the Tour HP’s
Happy with my LTX's, but they may not last that long.

I have had Premier LTX's on my 2013 RX350 for two years and about 25,000 miles. OEM's lasted 47K. My best guess for my current tread depth is about 5/32", maybe 6/32". Still not down to the tread wear indicators. I have been happy with my tires and have had no puctures in two years, which is unusual for me. I have read numerous reviews about the tread life not lasting more than 25K. Not sure if I will get 40K out of mine, but I've been happy none the less, as safety has been my prime concern. Chose these tires because I live in Florida, with a lot of wet road driving, do a lot of high speed interstate driving, and this tire was rated best for those conditions. I am guessing the Costco people are looking at 30K-40K miles max for these 60K tires, which may be why they are shying away from them. You will have to set your own priorities, and choose accordingly.
About 19,000 miles ago I purchased Michelin Premier LTX from COSTCO and they are much better than the original Michelin Latitude Tour that came on the 2015 RX450h. They are quieter and provide a smoother ride. They are great in snow and heavy rain as well. I return to COSTCO every 7500 miles for my FREE rebalancing and tire rotation and nitrogen addition to maintain my COSTCO warranty since Michelin's warranty isn't worth the paper it is written on.
Thinking of getting Pirelli Scorpion Verde AS Plus for the RX 350 F
pretty good deal at Costco
the OEM Michelin have lasted pretty good 91,000 km still not down to the wear bar , but winters coming
Replaced the 4 garbage Dunlops on our 2015 RX with new Michelin Primacy MXM-4 tires this morning--about 35K miles. Already MUCH quieter, a better ride, and better handling. Nice.
Bought the tires at Discount Tire for $192 ea., plus all the add-on stuff. No COSTCO anywhere near here, but Sam's Club wanted $25-40 more per tire for other Michelins--they don't carry the Primacy.
Drives me crazy , specs are all the same, name is the same , but different part number and no explanation why one tire is better than the other
probably will go with Michelin once the rebates start at Costco in October, not sure which model Defender LTX or Primier LTX

Purchased a set of these for my 15. Discount tire direct had them for $110 per tire with free shipping. Also got a $100 rebate from DTD and a $70 rebate from Pirelli. Couldn't be beat. Love the ride and handling and low noise level. Longevity may not be so great. I'm about 10k in on mileage and have notices the fronts are down to about 7/32nds. Definitely won't make it to 65k, but for what I paid and the way they perform, I'm not complaining.
As another owner of the Dunlops, which I feel are letting both the car and me down, I would be very interested in your thoughts after you complete this swap. Especially in the areas of ride comfort, ability to deal with road imperfections and noise on various road surfaces.
With a treadwear rating of only 280, I would expect the Dunlops to be bad before 30k miles. How long have the Dunlop's been a problem for you? The issues I have with the tires have been bothering me from the beginning.
New Dunlop GrandTrek Touring A/S (P235/55R19) put on my 2012 RX350 at 34k miles in Texas. Comfort / noise / handling have been great; not sure what issues others have had.
Now at 72k miles have 2/32 tread and looking for replacements that would be under $300 / tire.
( Michelin was great on my 4Runner & Tahoe, now have $130 discount for 4 at Costco. )
