Yokohama vs Michelin by 265blkviper

I just got my '07 GS350 RWD (26 miles) and I am getting way too much tire noise from the OEM Yokohama-Avan-10 18" tires. The dealer said they will trade out for the Michelin Pilot P2.
That's the only other tire Lexus will recommend for this car. Anyone else had this problem?
 
Thanks

Follow up:
I picked my car up today from the Lexus dealer here in Tampa. The new tires are Michelin Pilot A/S and they swapped the Yokohama tires out with an even trade.
The new ride is not only smooth but 50% less noise.
The dealer knew I was not happy and they went out of their way to have a satisified first time Lexus owner.

Today I noticed my front (empty) passenger seat vibrates
quite a bit when the speed is between 60-75 mph. It could happen a while ago or after
I had the tires rotated a couple months ago.
 
I don't know because the front tires are out
 of balance or it's the hard run flat tires.
Does anyone experience this?
Checked the wheels, no signs of the weights
came off.

Who sells GS350 G-Spider Wheels in SO Cal? by rah7

HI,
 
I'm in the process of buying the GS350 and none of the dealers are making the G-Spider Wheels available. That's OK, since it would probably be cheaper to buy it aftermarket.
 
However, I'm trying to find a Wheels stores that are selling the 18" G-Spider wheels for the GS350. I'm also interested in buying Chrome.
 
Does anyone have any leads on any Wheel stores in Los Angeles or Orange County, that offer these wheels at a reasonable discount?
 
Any help is appreciated.
 
Thank you

I am interested in the 18" wheels and currently have the 17" wheels in Chrome. Would anyone be interested in trading? I am from Southern California.

Yes, I do still have those wheels. The wheels are in mint condition with no scratches, dents, etc.

I am looking at a 2007 GS350. How has yours been driving since you had them change the tires to Michelins? I saw your posting in July and just wanted to see what your thoughts were now. Any other thoughts I should consider before I talk with the salesperson about buying this car?
Thanks.

On my GS300 2006 I had issues with my tires Yokohama after 15000 km. They were making to much sound. In my understanding the tire material was to hard. Yokohama inspected the tires at 30'000 km, yes I had to wait quite a long time, and they were very surprised about the low wear of the tires. They accepted the case and offered me to replace the original mounted tires by a new series still within the same model. It seems that they are aware of the issue. Due to the km I have to pay around 30% of the standard list price.
