2013 GS350 AWD Tire Recommendation
Hey everyone,
Complicated story but here's the cliff note version.
Not an F Sport. Car has 31k miles on original tires. I swap them over to Hankook New Englanders (I'm in MA). They ride horribly. Vibrations when driving. I have them rebalanced, still bad. So I bumped up to Toyo Celsius. Better, but still tons of vibration. I have two other shops look at my wheels and balance them, me thinking the original shop hasn't calibrated their machine. Everyone says the wheels are straight. My front end is tight, no brake issues, alignment is good.
Still vibration. So I go to my Lexus dealer reluctantly expecting them to say my car needs a ton. Their shop foreman goes for a ride and says "oh these just aren't the right type of tire for this car. You should try to find something OEM"
I'm still in my return window and I'm curious if any other owner has a suggestion? I've read that the Yoko Advan and Pirelli AS Plus 3 are great? But curious if anyone had a similar experience with the cars tires making the car which was one extremely comfortable very uncomfortable to drive and curious as to recommendations.
TL:DR car drove great on old tires, got new ones, now feels terrible despite 4 different balancing attempts and 2 different compounds.
