Did you put the OEM size on when you installed the Alenzas? I've heard of some people upsizing to the 255s on the stock rims to get a little bit wider tire. I think this would look great, but I'm worried about warranty issues and rubbing on the wheel well when I turn.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, it sounds like everyone has had good luck with the Alenzas. I'll probably go with them unless I have a last-minute change of mind. I'm very curious about the Continental Extreme Contact DWS though. I've never been a fan of Continentals because of their poor wear, but the new DWS seems to hit all the marks. It sounds like they're unbelieveable in snow and rain and wear much better than their predecessors (according to the articles I've read). They're so new, though, that there aren't any reviews on the retailer sites or online forums.

I have a 2008 RX350 AWD and am also looking for a new set of all-season tires. I've been doing a lot of research and I think I've narrowed my selection my selection to the following: Michelin Latitude Tour Continental Extreme Contact DWS Bridgestone Alenza Yokohama Parada I have always been a fan of Goodyears, but I've heard they wear terribly on the RX so I've eliminated them as a choice. I'm looking for a tire that performs well and also looks great on the RX. Snow performance is very important as I live in Minnesota. Do any of you have any opinions on my search? It sounds like the Michelins and Continentals are pretty new, so there aren't many reviews out there. I know the Bridgestones are a great tire, but do they look ok on the RX? Even though I'd like to save money if I can, I'm not going to make my decision on price alone. Price doesn't matter in my opinion when it comes to safety. Any input on these tires would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
