There are a number of threads on this subject (some factual and others personal). Take this replay as a little bit of both...
1. Would never, never, never buy a product from Bridgestone/Firestone. They have been in a number of lawsuits and wsere reluctance to recall faulty products all for the bottom line.
2. Stick to V rated. This vehicle is not designed for the softer H rated tire
3. I put Donlop SP5000 tires on my GS at a cost of $85/tire. Is it the best --NO, is it quiet -- YES, will it last more than 20k miles -- NO
4. I put Michelins on my wife's ES300. The only people who do not like Michelins, are those that don't have them on their vehicles. Beyond all the hype, it is the best tire.
5. I saw comments for Falken tires (private company) sold at Sears. I do not believe they may a V rated tire in this size. They do have an H rated.
Good luck and let me know your decision.
I am on my second set of Bridgestone Touranza LS Z's. already 50,000 miles on this set. This is the best tire I have ever owned. Now all Bridgestone has in the 225/60/16 Touranza is "H" rated. I hate that!
