Not a Goodyear fan. I remember reading that Goodyear was showing prospective tread patterns to focus groups as part of their design process. I believe this happened with the Assurance TripleTred in particular. Which means they're elevating superficial marketing considerations ahead of making the best-working tire they know how. None for me, thanks.

They've been on my wife's RX for more than two years now with no such issues - and on my daily driver ES for the last six months through snow, sleet and rain.

I posted a couple pics on the newbie intro thread. I put the Vredestein on this AM with only 75 miles on the car. Here’s a couple pics before I switched the tires.

Looks great! I so like the looks of the noise reduction wheels and the triple beams. And, is that a tint I see?

Absolutely gorgeous! I cannot get a Lexus without triple beam headlights now. Congrats again. What tires did you put on and whats your before/after impressing?

heres’s photo of my UL350 which I bought a few weeks ago. White was my top choice but gotta say your sunburst gray looks gorgeous too!

I don’t think so. If it was I was never made aware of it.
I think it’s just really good lighting.

Lexus of Tulsa shares the same shop w/ Audi (they are both owned by Don Thornton Motor Group) and have done the tint on my last three cars. I had no problem paying the $399 added dealer option because I knew it would be included in the 4 year warranty this way. PS: rear shades are up as well on side windows that’s why they are darker.

Looks great, and the white really brings out the two-tone effect of the pano roof.

I think white is the best color for this car, together with the atomic silver.

And ULTRA white at that. We have an RX in white pearl which looks great but the ultra which is my ES just stands out a drop more.
