Lead Lap
Haha. This has happened to me throughout my Lexus ownership. When you drive them every day and don't have anything to compare them to their refinement sort of starts to seem ordinary. Then when you spend time in something else and get back into the Lexus it really wows you again. I think that may be what was happening.

I've been on forums long enough the niggles people talk about do to sway me lol

Lead Lap
You know its funny, i was not hearing or paying attention to the slight whistle that comes from the engine at times, or that the cup holder vibrates just a tad when its open until i read about someone else having that problem. Lol
So what did you decide with the tires, are you sticking with them ?

I'm going to stick with the tires. certain road surfaces are always going to generate noise, and with lower profile tires you're always going to hear more noise than you would with thicker sidewalled tires. Yesterday temps were near 60 and the tires were very smoooth and quiet. I think I'll be fine.

GS fsport tire sizing
Hey everyone
looking at pilot super sports for my '13 RWD fsport on tirerack. The 235/40/19 is an odd duck - limited options so like some of you I've been looking at 245/40/19.
If you've done the 245, what is your experience? Any issues?
Also a quirk on pilot super sports, which are an excellent tire I've used in the past - a pair of 245 is $180 less than 235! Go figure
Thanks for the feedback

Just updating everyone on my experience with the Toyo Versado Noir, I'm 5k miles in now and VERY happy with the tires. The car drives and rides great. I'd recommend them without hesitation.
