Anita, as a side note, you have the best tires - the Pirelli Scorpion Verde A/S if I'm not mistaken. ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
As far as the cnet review and many others that trashed the F-Sport's comfort and road noise, I noticed the Dunlops too and I cringed. Come on Lexus, read all the posts out there including real-world ratings on Tirerack. You're putting last place tires on a first place vehicle.![No No No](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/nono.gif)

Rayaans, the Dunlops are the cheapest of all three OE tires on the RX here. The ones I had on the RXh were OK for 16K miles but faded fast. On the F-Sport I noticed a tremendous amount of road noise during the test drive. I don't remember that problem when I had them. It makes me wonder if they're somehow different.
As far as mileage, the Pirellis are a green LRR tire that are supposed to help with mileage although I haven't noticed a big difference. They are a few pounds heavier than the Dunlops after all. I'm around 29 MPG now, a slight increase over the Dunlops.
Wow, last place for the Dunlops. Lexus really needs to go with another brand tire.
