Default 2008 GS350 AWD Tire Question

Hey....I just took hold of an a 08 GS350 last wednesday and I can honestly say its one awesome car. From Friday to Sunday we got hit with a pretty bad winter storm that dropped around 30cm. Today was the first day I experienced the car on snowy roads. I ordered a set of winter tires today from Lexus and should get them on by tomorrow evening. The tires that came with the car aren't looking to good right now for the snow. Anyways my question is in regards to "Dunlop Run Flat Tires". First off are these tires any good? Some people I talked to said I should get a new set of tires because those ones are not so good. I find that the car tends to pull to the left a lot. Does anyone else experience this? I like the car a lot, but this is the only problem I have right now. So should I change the tires to something else?

Thx

I'd say change'em if the dealership will take'em back for some money. Otherwise just use'em til you can't stand'em anymore. One of the common complaints about the Dunlops are the noise after 10, 15k miles (around 20k km for you). As for handling in snow, I'm not too sure. My AWD actually has the Yokohama summer tires on it and it's really not that bad at all in snow. However, once they wear out I will get all-season tires for sure.
