Unresponsive steering on Bridgestone
Hi, I just got my RX 2106 fully loaded $60k Lexus with 20 inch tires. The car came with Bridgestone tires but I understand some cars come preloaded with Michelin. I feel the steering is a bit "unresponsive" and wonder if similar experience with Michelin tires? Any other suggestions to improve the steering experience?
Rest of the car is great!

No idea. I can't imagine a car being unresponsive because of brand new Bridgestone tires.
I had bridgestones on the IS and switched them to michellins. The only REAL difference I felt was that it felt softer and smoother.

I assume you have the non- F Sport model...
What was your previous car to understand your baseline on what is "unresponsive"? Remember, this is an RX crossover we're talking about
Do you have the Dueler H/P Sport all-seasons? I can't comment directly on comparison to the Michelins, but typically, the Bridgestones will ride a little louder, firmer, and be more responsive than the Michelins, so the Michelins will likely have more flex and be less responsive.
