  1. My experience with Michelins has been very positive. I have a 2010 RX-350 AWD and still have the original tires after 58000 miles. The last time I was at Lexus for service I asked them to comment on the condition of the tires and they said I still had plenty of tread left - lol! I should note that most of the miles are highway miles. I do believe that the wet traction is not as good as it was when they were new, but I guess that is to be expected. They continue to be a quiet tire on the highway. When I replace these - I will get the same ones again.
  2. Here's a couple more data points. We got 27 mpg on a recent trip from IL to MA on premium, driving about 70 mph(15000 miles on 2010 RX350 AWD). On the way back we tried 87 octane and got 24 mpg. The RX's mpg calculator did a good job of matching our manual calculations of miles/gallons. This amounted to roughly a 10% difference in mpg and roughly 10% difference in the cost of fuel. Our conclusion: Might as well use premium!
