I've just traded in an LS460 for an RX450h. It's like driving around in a bouncy castle. Is there anything that can be done to soften the suspension?

It's the Luxury model. I guess in hindsight the Advance might have been a better choice as that has air suspension I understand. Or is that just as bumpy?

I hvae 2011 RX450h with 100,000  miles , the Car weights a lot and batteries are very heavy.My lexus does have a harsh ride which I wonder is result of worn shock. I since own it have already put in two sets. Once while under warranty and second was my expense . I am now wonder is it the Yokahamma 60k tires are to harsh.  I recently started driving the car 40 miles to work and notice the harshness .  Could be the tires which I run at 37psi or the shock are the wrong size chose by Lexus or it's a truck and it is what it is?

I have a 2014 RX 450h premier on air suspension with 60000miles .

I have always found it hard and jiggly ,I thought it was the Dunlop tyres and was going to change to Yokohamas but now I’m not so sure!

I run mine at 32psi

My friend suggested ContinentalPROCONTACT TX235 /55 R19 101V SL BSW N0, softer and quieter too, Says he got 35,000 on them Yokohamas I have 70,000 on them but there a little noisy and stiff.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I’m really keen to find a quiet tyre that is comfortable too.

not to worried about cost or how long it lasts

lots of people recommend michelin cross climate……then others say the’re noisy!

whatever …..4 new tyres is a big investment if you don’t like them!
