Default Lease residuals and 19 inch rim with mud/snow tires? (2 questions)

Hey all

1) does anyone know the 36month/12k miles and 48month/12k miles sept or oct residuals for 2010 rx 350 AWD non entertainment system?

2) the car I want seems to have 19 inch rims with mud/snow tires? since I dont really drive in mud or snow, would that likely make my handling worse than the standard 18 inch rims standard tires?

I can answer 2. You won't notice much difference between the 18/19" wheels as the sidewall is still very fat. 19" wheels are there to give more feedback and to be "sportier" but that also depends greatly on the tires on the RX.

agreed.

to OP: since you don't need tires for mud/snow, switching to a dedicated summer tire should provide better handling.

On AWD; likely 18's have Bridgestone and 19's will have Michelins. M+S is just a tire rating and it is typical for the truck/SUV tire sizes so i don't think you will be able to find summer only tires in these sizes unless you put on lower profile tires. Even those with Dunlop tires on FWD RX are rated M+S but all three treads are like a typical passenger tires. GX in the other hand has the Bridgestone tires with M+S rating but with much more aggressive treads.
