Just installed 4 Helo Bezel 18x7.5 wheels and 255x55Vx18 Nitto Extreme Force 404 SUV tires on my 2001 RX300 Silversport. What a tremendous difference in handling they made. Feels more precise and doesn't track the rain grouves on the SoCal freeways like the Goodyear Integritys did. The Nittos are a directional Vrated tire with a cool looking tread and is sprial wrapped with 2 layers of nylon to keep the tread flat at speed and strengthen the tread. Very quiet on the freeway too.
If you have a RX and are in the market for new tires check plus sizing to an 18" wheel these out as you still have the comfortable ride with the inproved handling and good looks. I got them at Americas tire for $1414 including locks, lugs and life time free rotation and balencing. Also free flat repair and tire replacement for any damage they can't fix, not prorated and no questions asked!!! I am so pleased with the way everything turned out and the level of service at Americas tire in Lake Forest Ca. and would highly reccomend them to all! I will get a link up for pics soon.
