Besides Bridgestone, what else comes on the F Sport?
Besides the Bridgestone Potenza RE050, what other 19" tire comes on the new GS350 F Sport? Any Michelins?
Thanks

My 2015 F-sport came with Dunlop Sport Max. Not really impressed by these tires because they ride kinda harsh and are kinda loud like the Bridgestones. We'll see if they last longer. On my 2013, I changed the worn out Bridgestones to Michelin Super Sport, and it made a huge difference in ride quality and quietness. Wish Lexus would put the Michelins standard on the car since they cost almost the same (were cheaper when I got them installed).

Thanks for the tip. Now I know its the Dunlop Sport Max, I'm wondering what the Michelin tire would be.
I may be buying a new F Sport soon and I'm not sure if I should ask for a specific tire (i.e. swap for a particular tire over another).
Any opinion would be appreciated!

They are Michelin Super Sport. I don't think any of the cars at the dealer would have them already on so tire swap would be your only option. I've read from others on the forum that the dealer charges a fee. If you're willing to pay then do it, but IMO I would just use whatever comes on the car and replace them when needed. This car needs new tires around 18-25K miles.

The Michelin Super Sport is cheaper than the Bridgestones plus higher mileage warranty and that's what I'll be getting once my Bridgestones are worn out. There isn't much choices for the FSport staggered setup.

"The" Michelin Super Sport?
"The" Pilot Michelin Super Sport? Wow, that would be a great find. That tire is rated better traction, brake, ride, noise (by Tire Rack and other enthusiast) , slightly lighter weight and even a higher wear rating. The dealer I visit has over a dozen F sports so if I spot the Michelins, I'll definitely ask for a swap, even if I pay a fee. Thanks!

I'll be up-sizing to 245/275 on my staggered set up which opens up a lot of options. General G-MAX RS has caught my eye as a great tire with solid performance and reviews at a significantly lower price. Currently a set goes for under $700!

Mine came with continental extreme contact sport (formerly DW). It's an ultra high performance summer tire
Been very pleased with them. Have put 20k on them and still 7/32 all around

I have these and they are great! unfortunately the only thing is that the G-MAX RS tires are not "squared" like the Bridgestones so it doesn't look as slim as the Bridgestones. Overall the performance and road noise not to mention the price makes them great tires for our cars.
