I finally replaced the rfs with michelin pilot sport a/s tires for our indigo ecru 2003. Any suggestion on tire pressure to use?.. We've had rfs since it was new and plan on keeping it for a long time.
Thanks Terry

32-34 PSI. Anything more than like in the 40's will cause the middle tread in the tires to become balder faster.

on stock wheels? if so then i think 32 to 34 is good

Although I just got my '07, i am waiting for the day i can change to michelins. How is the ride now? Especially across road joints and other road issues.

What are you doing for a spare? Did you convert to the Lexus sapre kit?

Thanks

I am on my second SC430 with Michelin P/S. I run at 35-36 PSI and find it a good compromise for ride/handling. What a difference these tires make!

I don't have a spare. I have a tire inflator and a can of Fix-a-flat in the trunk. The Lexus spare tire kit takes up too much room for me. I want the flexibility of still carrying things in the trunk with the top down.

In all fairness, I don't commute to work and I only drive locally. If I drove long distances I would probably think differently (and would have a different car ).

everyone who went from rf to non-rf are very happy. the pilot sport a/s is a very nice tire, i love it.

Thanks all for your opinions. The ride is much improved with the new michelins. Rides more like a "Lexus". I have stock wheels. I put the Lexus spare tire kit in myself. It took about thirty minutes and doesn't take up as much room as you might think.
Thanks,
Terry

Do you mind if I ask what did the kit cost you?
