I recommend Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. They are doing a nice job on my wife's SC.

Thanks. I bought the Michelin PS 2's over the weekend, and can already tell the difference. I only wish I'd made the switch when I bought the car 16 months ago. At the dealer's suggestion, I put 265's on the back, and 245's on the front. It seems to help traction just a bit (and certainly looks better).

Great discussion. Does this mean that the only way to have an SC without the RFTs is to have conventional tires without a spare and carry a "fix-a-flat" kit? If a "donut" spare is possible, how is it accommodated in the SC?

I can't find the exact thread right now, but there's a discussion on the Lexus Owners' Club site [http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showforum=3] about a spare conversion kit. I understand the Lexus dealership version may be around $900, but you can get another make (Acura, maybe) that works for a lot less. I've not done this yet, however, so I'd look into it first. Good luck.

Couldn't stop laughing from that one.
Just replaced mine with Continentals.
And thanks for the tip about the Conticomfort Kit.
I'd buy a spacesaver tire but not for $500.00

I replaced my run flats about a year ago and love the new ride - what I was expecting when I bought the car. Since I do a lot of highway driving, I didn't want to get stuck in the boonies waiting for a flat bed truck. I did a lot of research on options and decided to get the mini spare.
 
My dealer quoted me $1100 for the kit. Instead I just bought the steel wheel for mini spare from the dealer ($130)Then I purchased the actual tire from a local tire store ($220 installed - pricey but I checked 5 places and they all were within a couple of bucks). The sppare fits nicely in the wheel well and the top still goes down.

Has anyone replaced the Bridgestone summer run-flats with the Dunlop all-season run-flats? If so, can you tell any difference in the ride?
