Just an update that I finally decided on the Falken Ziex ZE-512's and have had them on my car for a couple weeks now. So far, I really like the way they feel and handle, although they seem just slightly louder than the OEM Dunlops. However, I really am happy with them, especially the past couple of days in the rain. Thanks again for all your help!

Thanks for the info.. I've responded on the Tire & Wheel Forum!

Wow, thanks for all the great info! I will dig alittle deeper into each of the tires you mentioned. I had never heard of Falken's until I found this site, but they seem to be a favorite. I put Yokohamas on my GS about 7000 miles before I sold it, but was really liking them, and just printed out the data on the Avids yesterday, along with the Goodyear Assurance Comfortreads. That gives me alot to read and digest on this rainy weekend in SoCal. Thanks again for all the help!

The OEM Dunlops say "P225/55R17 95H". I would say that I want a very smooth, quiet ride (that's why I bought a Lexus). I almost hesitate to say I want long wear because the second set of tires I put on my 1998 GS300 were supposed to give me better wear, but they were NOISY! I would like a tire that will last though. Thanks for your help... I really have no idea what to do and it's a decision I need to make relatively soon.

At 25,000 miles I'm having to replace my OEM Dunlops on my 2003 LS430. Does anyone have good experience that they can relay for a replacement tire? I do average driving in Southern California. TIA.
