I have had previous good experience of Uniroyals on a Mercedes saloon so purchased these for my Lexus. They grip well, wet and dry, and are pleasantly smooth and quiet, albeit not as good as superb Yokohama dB550, which I can't get any more in the size I need. Wear seems average. One issue to watch, though, is tramlining. Any wide tyre is prone to following the two big grooves left (particularly noticeable lane 1) by cars and trucks pounding the motorway. My experience is that assymetric tread patterns do not suit big Lexus cars; in particular, they tend to be noisy, probably why Lexus does not specify such tyres as original equipment. The V-shaped symmetrical directional pattern on the Uniroyal Rain Expert is quiet BUT it tramlines more than other tyres I have had on the same car, so can be disconcerting at first. This is the only drawback of this otherwise good tyre.
