Thanks for the tire/rim advice folks, also since I drive exclusively in
the S-mode, I tried shifting down manually on hill, but unfortunately,
the car usually downshifts two or three gears down, to fourth or third
(I have the 6-speed) and the same result can be had by just stepping on
the gas.

My Lexus in the S-mode allows me to down-shift manually. this is
great!!!!!... I just wish Lexus would also allow you to up-shift
manually with a warning indicator if the engine is laboring. Of
course, if you don't know what you are doing, you could probably do
serious harm to the engine. So much for that..
