I have also been shopping around for tires for my 1998 Lexus GS 300. I do not want to put a lot of money into a set of 4, but I do want a decent tire. I have not purchased a set yet, but a set of Toyo Spectrum tires were recommended by a local tire dealer. 60k warranty on them at $84.50 per tire, $366.66 out the door with mounting, balancing, free rotation and balancing for life, road hazard and tax. I thought that sounded pretty reasonable. I have done some research on them, and generally comments have been very favorable. If I end up getting a set I will let you know what I think of them.

With the exception of the work truck and trailer, Goodyears have been on everything else.
Most are soft compound, lower mileage but ride and handle better than anything I've had before.

I run BF Goodrich on everything and generally go for a treadwear rating of 400 or more. The set on the wifey's car (BF Goodrich Touring T/A's) are rated at 640! I put 70,000 on a set of 440 rated BFG Commercial T/A's from Sam's club.

Uniroyals--they aren't as cool, but there round and hold air and usually have good treadwear and are cheap.
