Put about 200 miles on the new Alenzas today, mixed urban and freeway driving at speeds up to 80. Very quiet and smooth over all surfaces. If you are planning to purchase in the next couple of weeks, Firestone/Bridgestone is still offering a $75 prepaid Amex card with purchase of 4 H/L Alenzas through 9/29. You have to ask for the coupon at purchase (or go back and get it like I did), then send it in and wait six to eight weeks for card to be mailed to you.

Not a bad deal - I got another pair of FRS radios free with my Michelin Cross Terrains a few years ago for my RX 300. I love lagniappe!

Which Potenza? I didn't see any Potenzas that are the right size and the right load specs for the Lexus RX330/350.

Out the door for $808. Minus $75 rebate AMEX card mail in.

Total $808-$75=$733.

Purchased and installed at Firestone store (Discount Tire was nearly $100 higher). Factory warranty, no RHG, plus valve stems and balance. OTD for a total of $732.44 - $75 Amex + stamp = $657.85

They matched the price from tirerack.com $155x4=$620+$45 (shipping). Total $665 plus mounting, lifetime balancing, lifetime road hazard, valve stems, disposal and tax. California tax 8.75%! Total $808.

I could have just gotten the one time mounting and balancing no road hazard. I would have saved $28. I figured for $28 getting the lifetime road hazard and lifetime balacing was worth it.
