Default 2014 lexus is 350 AWD fsport tires question

Hi guys,
I live in Ontario so having AWD and good tires is important to me. Are the tires that come with the car summers or all season? I ordered my car and am expecting it in about 2 weeks roughly and considering it will be October this is quite important to me.

If they are summers what do you suggest I do? Can I get the dealer to put on all seasons at no cost or winters and then I can possibly buy new wheels in the summer?

Thanks

Based on the information I saw on Lexus.com, AWD comes with all season tires. Not sure what brand or model.

On Lexus.ca it specifically says All Season Tires under the is350 AWD NON-fsport Premium, Luxury and Exec Package. Under the 3 FSport Packages it does not mention "All Season Tires.

I found the part on Lexus.com that describes that its summer tires for RWD models and AWD gets all season. This is reassuring somewhat, however hopefully someone in Ontario/Canada can possibly comment?

I would assume this is the case as well, just wanted to make sure.

I think it should be AWD in Canada too but I would double check since things that Lexus does from one country model can be very different in another country.

FYI... I emailed Lexus Canada last night and received a quick response this morning. They confirmed the AWD models do come with all season tires. Thx guys

I would be swapping out the stock tire for the ExtremeContact DWS the moment I got the car. I have them on my Subaru and they have been THE best tire I ever owned. AWESOME in the New England snow !!!
