GoldBars Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I've been told that I need new tires (at 25K miles !) for my 2007 gs350. Seems the factory tires are wearing quickly. Any suggestions as to replacement tires? The dealer suggested Dunlops at $860.00 for a pair. Thanks for any input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Not a big fan of the Dunlops, the Michelin pilots are much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boB_2006_GS300 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 My tires lasted about 35,000 miles. They still looked good, but when the car was on the rack, too much inside wear was found. That was a common problem discussed on this forum. I think the Lexus dealer quoted about $225 per tire PLUS installation. I went to the local tire dealer I dealt with previously, and they put on Bridgestone Protenzas with an "out the door" price less then $900. There are many tire dealers where I live. Some are good, and some are bad as far as "extras" that are added into the price at the end, and some don't do good work. I am happy with the local Tire Pros store. I can't speak for their other locations though. An independent dealer (other then Lexus) should have more options, so I would ask them what they recommend for your area, type of driving, climate, weather you want millage or performance, etc. There's nothing wrong with getting a few other price quotes either way.

mstrbass Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I recently replaced the run flats on my 06 went to Bridgestone Turanza Serenity -- what a differenct so much better ride and much quiter. They may not have quite the performance as far as cornering etc. but if overall comfort is a concern they are a good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a huge difference between them an the Yokohamas that were OEM on the car. The Serenitys are quiet and much longer wearing. Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
