Thanks for all the info on this post - all very useful. I am looking to change the two front tyres on my '07 Rx400h and I was wondering what you guys might suggest for a tyre that is longer lasting and quiet without the need to be particularly "grippy" or "sporty"?!!? I live in London and to be honest I have the car for the wife & two kids so it's not like I'm throwing it round country lanes at the weekends (I have the wife's Lotus Elise for that!!). I have the Dunlops at the moment but they've only lasted 16,000 miles so I'm looking for something economical that will give long life and a quiet ride with reasonable performance. Any suggestions...?
