OK, installed the 4 245/40ZR -18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus ZP RunFlats.
(My inside front L tire was chewed down to the steel belts; I believe it was the too much toe in alignment - saw it on a thread here but can't find it, where people set the alignment different from factory to prevent this).
Ride: spectacular silky ride; no more teeth jarring bumps. I actually like going over rough roads now. Amazing difference from the OEMs.
Now, their is one small con:
between 77 and 80 mph there is a minor hum on freeway, enough that I can guage my speed by it.
A small price to pay for great ride and I hear great wet road perfomance.

You may be referring to this post: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...t-in-spec.html or more specifically, camber issues.

Got a set of Pirelli Pzero Nero's on my 2002. Pretty good tire and I guess the ride is fine... a whole lot better than the tires they replaced. The wierd thing is that the car sat for 2 weeks and the tires seemed to flat spot a bit. It took 2-3 miles for the ride to smooth out.
If I would have been in a cold climate I would not have been as surprised but this is Miami and 55 degrees is considered cold here.
I heard that Michelin is comming out with a 60,000 mile tire in the size for the SC430 but it will be sometime next year and even if that was true, the cords would have shown before they were available.
