So i went ahead and did my tires yesterday.

Cost me $815 out the door for some bridgestone potenza re960 (17")
They're supposed to last at least 40k miles

Scheduling my 40k mile change tomorrow, and will check on fluids this weekend.

Thanks for your help

rental car!! FTW. $200/week rental is alot more economical than putting miles and wear and tear on the Lexus .
