Question

I am thinking of swaping out my run flats for regular tires to try to eliminate some of the rattle problems. Any comments or suggestions?
Thanks!

Thanks for the response Gene, my question though was really re if I change out the runflats for regular tires (what are the stock tires Lexus provides if you don't get runflats?) will that eliminate in part or full, the rattle problem? I will be keeping the stck rims.

Thanks!!

Sorry to be so inquisitive, but I am not at all familiar with the workings of runflats and how they would eliminate rattles if I changed them out- could you explain? Also, Do you know which posts at Edmunds so that I may research them?
Thank you very much!
Also, so many people say they have no rattles...how's that?

Default changing runflats

Would be interested to hear if getting rid of the runflats improves the jerky steering.
