I am about to purchase a new 2004 SC 430, and look forward to enjoying a relatively smooth ride in the car I buy. However, I must confess that I am concerned about the problems with the car's ride, after reading lots of posts discussing the harsh ride of their SC 430s attributable to the OEM run-flat tires. New SC 430s only come with run-flat tires, so unless the Lexus dealer is willing to exchange the stock tires with a brand of non-run flat tire that I may want installed before delivery (such as the Michelin), it appears that I will be stuck with the OEM run-flat tires.

All of this assumes that problems with the harsh ride still exist...thus, my question for the forum is, "Have the SC 430's harsh ride problems been fixed with the 2004 SC 430?"

Thanks!
