Should I go for continental cross contact LX20 or michelin premier LTX for my rx350?

If you want to get 25k out of a set of tires, definitely put on the LTX premier. I was very disappointed with the treadwear (for the premium price).

True - you don't get the most miles out of Michelin, but the traction is really great.

Yes, I did some more research for LTX reviews and found many are recommending LTX for RX350 in the lists of RX350 tires. https://toptirereviews.com/best-tires-for-lexus-rx350/

Thanx to friction.....

More stick/traction= friction vs super hi mileage wear= very low stick/traction........Yea I'd be great to have a set tires that last 75K+ but also have the stick of Pilot sport 4s......not going to happen, so you'll have to figure out what your choice is in the different tire categories.....I've used Continental's extreme contact's, DWS's & DWS06's on a few performance cars I've had. I went w/ Continental's as I was looking for stick/traction in rainy/wet conditions for the money, yeah only got 'bout 30-32k miles out of them thou.....Same as a couple f-350's I've had about 35k out of those tires as well....

I had some General Altimax RT43s and they are good tires, smooth and quiet, but have soft sidewalls so handling feels a little floaty.

They replaced a set of Nitto NT421Qs that were also smooth and quiet, but provided better handling and, as a bonus, lasted 90k miles.

I had two sets of expensive Bridgestone Dueler H/L Ecopias and they wore faster and had worse wet traction than a tire at their price point should.

I put Yokohama Avid Ascends on my 2008 RX 4 years ago and have been very happy with them. Nice ride and excellent on ice and hard pack snow.
