newtoncd Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 I would recommend the Yokohama Avid V4s 235/55/18 tire for the RX330. It is nearly identical in weight to the OE Goodyear tire (29.5 vs. 29 pounds) but the tread width is 1.5 inches wider giving the tire a much more low profile appearance and more rubber on the road. Don't bother with the Bridgestone Dueler Alenza's, they weight 4 pounds more per tire and that much additional unsprung weight will hurt your gas mileage. With high gas prices, the costs add up quickly over time. No gas mileage hit here when I made the change from the OEM Michelin's vs the Alenza. With 21,000 miles, the Alenza, which I run at 35psi, is wearing nicely and rides great. With 96,000 miles on our RX330 and a 60,000 mile warranty, I couldn't be more pleased with the Alenza.
Mystery123 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 I got a set of Cooper CS5 grand touring tires to replace old Kumho Solus KR21 that have over 70,000 miles. They are $108 each but last week they had some rebate deals. KR21's are $80 each but wanted to try something different. Haven't mounted yet. Need to take them to local discount tire. What a difference looking at tires that have 70,000 miles vs brand new ones. ;) Hopefully, these would do good. www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findTireDetail.do?ra=searchTiresByVehicleAndSize.do&fl=&yr=2000&pc=19814&counter=0&ar=70&rd=16&vid=014366&cs=225
