Hi Everyone...

I searched everywhere before this post and since it has been awhile since I have been around, I thought I would ask you guys!

I have a 2005 that only has 25k miles on it and will need tires soon. Can't believe I need them this soon? Must be the around town driving I do for the most part.

Anyway, I wanted to find out the tire that will give the smoothest ride. I do not do any off roading, other than jumping a curb every now and then when I get stuck in traffic, so off roading is not my gig!

Any advice would be appreciated?

Thanks much!

Sounds strange you need tires at 25,000 miles, I have 33,000 and from the looks of the Michelin Cross Terrains on my GX they will last well into 60,000+ miles. They have been really great tires, very good, quiet ride with excellent rain and snow performance. Very highly recommended!! I made it part of the deal when I bought my GX to have the Cross Terrains put on and the dealer agreed.

I second that comment about the Michelin Cross Terrains, great tires. 4everlexus, what brand of tires did your GX come with?

Ditto to Michelin!!!!

Michelin Cross Terrains are excellent, as are Continental Cross Contacts. The Continentals cost about 40-50 dollars each LESS than the Michelins. Most BMWs come standard with Continental rubber.

The Bridgestone Duellers are nice tires to have in a highs speed skid, ask me how I know. Michelin's have a good pedigree...

The Michelins are really good tires.

I agree Michelins are really good tires, when I used work on tires I seen Michelin survive through things that I never seen any other tire go through, if your willing to spend the money then I would say go with the Michelins!

My GX came with Dunlop Grantrek's AT 20's. Not really sure why they are in need of replacement but, lack of rotation may have contributed to their demise!

Dunlop Grantrek, enough said. Lexus should give a special discount for GX that comes with Dunlop Grantrek.

Okay...I am asking..."How you know?"

Also, I know we are not supposed to talk price here but, for the Mich Cross Terrains 265 R17 110s ORBL at Costco, they are $201 each. Good deal with a $60 rebate until July 4?

Thanks...Hal.

According to the tire rack ratings, the Cross Terrain beat the Dueler in every single catagory, including wet, dry, light/heavy snow and ice traction.

Pirelli Scorpion ATR !!!

i'm currently using Scorpion ATR in 275/55/R20 replacing my stock Michelin Cross Terrain 17"
and the difference in "smoothness" is very minimal while the "looks" is very very different :P
