I think I bought the standard Lexus 2004 and I didn't realized there were two options for tire sizes and rims. Mine is the option with the 18 inch wheels as opposed to 17 inches. Which is better? does it matter?

When America's tire company installed my 4 new tires, they recommended I have a front wheel alignment. I asked if I needed the rear aligned and they said "no". So when I called Lexus service department, they said they only do 4 wheel alignments and not just two for the front. does this sound right? Should I just go somewhere else and get a front wheel alignment?

I have a 2004 Lexus R330 and I just bought 4 new tires (see topic title). However the size of P235/55R18 tires are either made in Mexico or Japan. I am wondering if anyone has the tires and where are yours made in? If Mexico, how do you like them and how long have you had them for? should I be concern about mine being manufactured in Mexico as opposed to japan?

I followed the advice of many SUV owners and bought myself a set of 4 new Bridgestone Dueler HL Alenza. However for the tire specification of P235/55R18 on my 2004 Lexus RX330, the tires are either made in Mexico or Japan. Mine are made in Mexico. Should I be concern about the quality or does it matter whether it was manufactured in Mexico or Japan?
