So I got the new Michelin premier LTX tires today...and it's a different machine! I am still amazed that the Dunlops could so,totally trash the ride of this vehicle- and tha the Michelins so totally transform it. Expensive tires- and worth the money!

Thanks for the response. I checked and adjusted the air pressure...better but still a "wooden" ride. The dealer checked the shocks...no problems. I was hoping to get some opinions on how likely it is that a change in tires will make a material difference...if not, I've got the wrong vehicle and should cut my losses. By the way, this is an awd model.

I'm a first time member so please go easy if I'm breaching all kinds of protocol. I recently bought a 2012 RX350 with low mileage, the third Lexus I have owned over many years. It came with the 19" wheels and still has the OEM Dunlop tires. Since I bought the car, it has become apparent that this car rides like a go-cart (even compared to my daughters CRV that I'm driving while she's overseas!) and I'm trying to decided how to approach this. Will replacing the OEM tires with Michelins make a dramatic difference? Should I consider replacing the 19" wheels with 18" wheels? Did I just buy the wrong vehicle? Thanks in advance for any advice.
