2oo8 Lexus es 350. These cars ride terrible compared to the older ones. I have a 2001 Toyota Avalon and it rides and handle like new with 188,000 miles on it. I am selling my 08 Lexus because after all wheel alignment, new KYB struts and all new own motor mounts it rides bad. Glad I didn't sell my Avalon.It looks old but boy she runs and rides great. Even the interior is much better quality and I don't need to use prius gas. No brainer as far as I am concerned.

My Lexus rides rough. I put new Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires on - the same as the old ones even though they only had 45k on them. It rides smoother and quieter now. But still rough on the RR tracks and potholes.. I think the short coil-over springs or struts on the front are inadequate. This is just my humble opinion. I bought the car expecting a smooth ride also.

My 2017 Lexus ES 350 with Michelin tires Primacy MXV4 has a terrible ride on routine roads, is only tolerable on interstate highways. I have 33 lbs pressure, and I am thinking of taking it down to 30 lbs, to see if that helps. I can tolerate less tire life and less gas mileage, but I can't tolerate the ride in the city on normal city streets. I have just abandoned the car except for road trips, and drive an old Camry that is smooth on all city road surfaces.
