  1. Thanks for your input. I think I will wait a couple of weeks before having those tires put on, and will check to see if there is a return policy. I never knew one could try out a tire for 30 days and then return them. Wow.
  2. I bought a 2004 RX 330 with 18,000 miles on Goodyear Eagle RS/A in January last year. Have put another 7,000 miles on it since then and am told I need tires. I have never liked the road noise from this SUV but was told it is normal. After reading posts here I see that it may have something to do with the tires, so am shopping for replacement tires. The two local tire dealers have given me some choices between Michelin, Bridgestone and Sumitomo. The Sumitomo would be a little less expensive, but I don't see any posts about them. Has anyone had any experience with Sumitomo? These particular tires are not listed on any of the tire websites. They are Sumitomo 235/55 on 18" wheels. I think he said touring lsv, with a 70,000 mile tread warranty. If a tire has that much tread warranty, wouldn't that lead you to believe they would ride harder? I would like a quite riding tire even if it would mean a little less long lasting, since I don't really put much mileage on the car. Thanks for your input.

  4. I bought this car used a year ago and don't like the road noise, but maybe it is the tires, Goodyear Eagles. Locally I have been told by the tire guy to get Bridgestone Alenza at one shop and the other recommends Sumitomo touring LSV with 70,000 mi tread wear warranty. I read a lot of reviews for the Bridgestone, but nothing about the Sumitomos. Anyone have any information on them? My cost would be a couple of hundred less with the Sumis including a 5 year alignment warranty. Any information appreciated. 2004 RX 330 with 235/55-18. Thanks a bunch. I guess I need all season since we don't have snow here in Hilton Head.
