Replacing all 4 on my '02 RX300. Looking at either Yokohama or Michelin...have Goodyear on now and they have been fine, no complaints. Could repeat that too.

I'm an around town leisure driver in Dallas, TX.

Thanks!

Michelin`s, although I had the Good Year`s on my 2001 RX. And they lasted quite well.

Can't go wrong with Michelins, but I have a set of Yokohama AVID TRZ's on my RX300 and they are quiet, smooth, and have 20k on them and still look like new.

Default michelin for sure if you have the $

I have the LTX. Expecting to get 80-90k wear. Will be replacing with the LTXm/s2. If you every go off the pavement or in the snow you will really appreciate this tire.

Go to http://www.tirerack.com/tires/survey...y.jsp?type=HAS Tire rack says:
. "The LTX M/S2 is Michelin’s Highway All-Season light truck tire developed to combine long tread life with all-season capabilities for vans, pickups and sport utility vehicles, as well as for commercial vans, shuttles and chassis cab vehicles using light truck tire sizes. The LTX M/S2 is designed to combine a smooth, quiet ride with year-round traction in dry, wet and wintry conditions, including in light snow. Compared to the original LTX M/S, the LTX M/S2 is an evolution in looks…and a leap forward in performance."

You have the #1 SUV. Get the # 1 tire!

Default Michellin LTX M/S2

I've had these tires for about 2k miles and at first you wont notice much of a difference except for a huge gain in traction, then after about 200 miles the oils and chemicals will start to wear off and the tread will soften and it will ride smooth and virtually silent. I can't explain how much I love these tires!!!!

I agree with Sturds' positive review. Great tires. I think there's a " $70 off 4" rebate going on right now, too.
