On my RX350, 2015, I have OE Dunlop Grandtrek Touring. I have 60 000 km on them and want to replace with Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus 2.
These tires have very good rating on Tire Rack, but I would like to hear from the owners who have them on Lexus RX350.

I have about 700 KM on the Pirelli Verde AS+2 and it seems to be stiffer than the OEM Michelins. I thought I had too much air so I bought the Topeak D2 gauge to compare to my cheap pencil style.

With the Topeak, tires are at 30 and 31 PSI so I’ll bump all to 32 later today. I’ll also request Costco to check pressure in my next visit so I can calibrate Topeak to their gauge.

I don’t think these tires are any noisier than the Michelins.

We’ll see how these perform over time and I’ll provide periodic updates on this thread.

I've had a very bad experience with Pirellis Cinturato's, that put me off this brand. They were great for about two years (30k miles), and then became extremely noisy and extremely slippery.
Please keep updating us on your experience, I'm curious if the Pirelli is making better tires now.

Just ordered Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus II from Walmart and the price is $158. It's cheaper than Tire Rack and America's tire. I am going to replace the short life Premier LTX which actually performs well, good dry/wet traction, quiet, comfortable, the only downside is super short life.

Default Bridgestone Ecopia Tire feedback

Hi Guys - I have 2013 RX 350 F-Sport. I am looking to add Bridgestone Ecopia from Costco ...

Total + tax + installation = $934.

Is this a good price? Is this a good tire?



It has run flat and around

That is not a run flat tire. I don’t think you want a run flat anyway. My wife’s X2 has Michelin run flats and they are very expensive and offer a harsher ride compared to a regular tire.

In Costco it shows to be a run flat tire. SO i was thinking maybe if its for $933 maybe i should go for it.

I’m sorry I misspoke they are run flat but the reviews on tire rack are horrible. The reviews there are to be taken with a grain of salt but I personally don’t see the appeal of run flats. The main purpose is so that manufactures don’t have to leave room for a spare, which we do have. The tires will let you drive a few miles to a mechanic to replace the tires incase of a flat but the trade off is they wear way faster, are louder, and cost more. Run flats sound good on paper but they are over rated in my opinion if you get a flat call Roadside or throw on your spare.

Run-flat tires serve a purpose. On my previous BMW X5, I was able to drive, without issue, with a tire which had zero pressure. I made it home safely and no drama. Apparently, I drove over a large screw/bolt on the road which caused the pressure loss.

Terrific. What was a $40 problem became a $600 problem. Where do I sign?

^^ This. You guys enjoy your run-flats. In the meantime, I will continue to avoid them like the plague.
