The versatility of the premium Lexus brand means that there’s a car or SUV for every journey. The original Lexus LS 400 is an undeniably popular model, which acts as an industry-wide benchmark on which all luxury sedans are built. However, it has been rivalled over the years by modern models, including the Lexus LFA supercar, and the Lexus ISF – both of which offer high-performance driving which is balanced with a luxurious and comfortable interior. Other popular models include the Lexus RX series of family cars, the Lexus IS 300 car with its high level of functionality, and the Lexus GS F car – all of which meet the needs of different markets.

Lexus is a premium car brand that recommends the very best in car tyres. That means brands like Michelin and Pirelli are the gold standard, alongside Bridgestone, Continental, and other popular tyre brands. Overall, it depends on your vehicle model, the tyre size, and how / where you plan on driving, with tyres needing to suit the terrain and climate.

Run-flat tyres are designed to enhance the convenience of driving and make cars safer. They boast reinforced sidewalls which ensure the tyre holds its shape even after a puncture and allowing the driver to maintain control over the vehicle. Some Lexus models are manufactured with run-flat tyres as part of the OEM, and some aren’t. Lexus and other vehicle manufacturers recommend run-flat tyres as the best tyres for SUVs that drive across different terrains, and for cars facing long journeys.

The difference between all-season tyres, winter tyres, and summer tyres lies in the construction of the rubber, in the tread pattern, and the tread depth and thickness of tyre grooves. Winter tyres are more pliable and designed to maintain good grip on wet and icy roads, while summer tyres are stronger to withstand high temperatures and can navigate wet and dry surfaces. All-season tyres blend the attributes of the two for year-round control in temperate climates. Lexus vehicles can adapt to all three tyre types, with off-road driving performing best with mud-terrain tyres that have extra traction but a flexible rubber compound.

The Lexus LFA is closely modelled against F1 models and performs best with tyres like the Pirelli P Zero models for maximum performance and speed. The Lexus RC F GT3 is another race-ready car which is built for endurance racing. Browse tyres for your Lexus, whether it’s a sports car or an off-road touring vehicle, online.
