You might feel the little cracks and seams in the road a bit more in the Alenza's over the Michelins. I went with the Alenza's because I wanted a tire that would take the snow and ice better than the Michelin and also last longer.

This past week I was in Boise, ID visiting my daughters and had Lexus of Boise do the service. The tech noted that my tires were in very good condition with little treadwear. He asked how may miles on I had on them and I told him it was about 18K and had put them on in Oct. of 2007. He couldn't believe that I had 18K on them. I usually run them at around 32 to 34 psi.

IMO they handle better than the Michelins and as for all weather they have done great on ice and snow here in ND. This past winter was a very snowy one for us with more than twice our normal. We had 90 inches of snow this winter and on several occasions it was 4,5 or even 6 inches at a time. The RX went thru the snow just fine. Glad I got them.

They ride quieter and smoother than the Badyears in spite of leaving the dealership with 38.5/39 PSI inflation which I believe is about 5 PSI too high. I'm going to drop them to 34 PSI and try that for a while.
