I just got Dunlop Graspic DS-1
Havn't tested them out yet.
They're the same size as my goodyears on the stock 17 inch rim. I'm planning on going through the winter with these rims. Hope all goes well.
The tires are noticeably louder, but on a Lexus, that doesn't mean much. They so quiet. The ride is different, you can feel the treads biting into the road more. More of a popping sensation. I was looking for Pirelli's winter Q rated tire, but they were on special order.

Just curious, I was shopping around in Chicago too. Where did you end up buying and how good of a deal did you get. The best I was getting was 2-grand off of MSRP from Bredman Lexus in Glenview Il. Regarding tires, you'll definitely wanna put something like Blizzaks on. Either that or drive VERY cautiously with your stock wheels. I don't know if it's worth chancing a spin out.
