adambtine Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 It is time to get 4 new tires for my 2005 RX330 and I would appreciate suggestions anyone may have regarding a high quality and economical set of tires. My max price is $175 per tire and the vehicle is primarily driven on the freeways in the San Francisco Bay Area. If anyone has a trustworthy shop they can plug in/around San Francisco I would appreciate that as well. Thanks for any suggestions you may have!

RX in NC Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 For a 17-inch tire, the best bang-for-the-buck hands down is the Firestone Destination LE. They are 90% of the Bridgestone Alenza at less than two-thirds of the price. Had a 16-inch set on a previous 2000 RX300 AWD and a 17-inch set on a previous 2000 Grand Cherokee. Both sets did more than 50,000 miles and never hydroplaned on either vehicle. The only reason I have Alenzas instead of Destination LEs on my wife's current 2004 RX330 AWD is because it unfortunately has the 18-inch wheels and the last time I checked, the Destination LE is not built any larger than 17-inch. Check with Discount Tire - they'll give you the best service as well as the best deal.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajabax Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I'm in the same situation. I need four new tires on my 06 330RX. I called several places and the place not to go is Putnman Lexus in Redwood City. They were twice as much as Big O Tires in Redwood City. Definitely shop around before you buy and remember to get a front end alignment too. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
