For my Lexus RX300 in Chicago, I could not wait to replace my OEM Goodyear Integrity tires that lasted a long time but had very poor traction in rain or snow. After researching tires at http://www.tirerack.com/ (I have no affiliation with this site.) and talking to some friends I bought Michelin LTX M/S tires. The traction is great, they have little tread wear after 20,000+ miles. I would recommend these for all weather use. The larger tread grooves are quiet, but if you drive on gravel a lot this could be a problem. A friend with a RX300 has the other OEM tire, the Bridgestone Dueler which has good traction but did not last long - maybe 30,000 miles. He replaced them with the Michelin Cross Terrain tires and likes them. Sorry, no experience with the Pirelli tires you mentioned. Good luck.
Replacing Rx300 Brake Discs

I have had problems with my front rotors for my 99 AWD RX300. A couple years ago around 50,000 miles I replaced the front rotors and pads (with ceramic) due to rust pitting and rust around the edges with aftermarket parts, I think Raybestos. Anyways, now at 78,000 miles the brake shop and dealer say the front rotors have rust pitting again. I am frustrated since I was hoping that paying extra for Lexus/Toyota quality would avoid this kind of problem. I will look into the rotors mentioned earlier, but I was wondering if anyone else has been having rust pitting problems with their rotors? I live in Chicago and unfortunately do not have a garage, but I have never had to replace brake rotors on my other cars before especially in just a few years and under 50,000 miles. Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated.
