2013 Lexus GS F-Sport Tires: Tirerack help needed
Hello,
I have the 19 inch 235/40/19 tire specs on my GS F-Sport AWD with Bridgestone Turanza EL400. I find the tires a bit unrefined on highways but overrall its not that bad of a tire. I want to get better all season tires with better grip, ride, snow traction, and longetivity. I have purchased Michelins before many times however not much all season choices on tirerack website for 235/40/19.
Question:
Can I do 245/40/19 tires? The rims are quite wide and should tolerate this tire size. I have done extra thick tires before. So if thats the case and the speedo is less than 1.10% error, is the Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires good for this car? I do not like the DWS (too soft, mushy, poor quality control and had vibration on my BMW with these before switching to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S). Will there be rubbing?

We have not yet had a 13' Lexus GS350 F Sport into our service bay to do the proper scans and calculations. At this moment in time all I have is the manufacture data on the vehicle so I don't have the availability recommend anything other than stock sizing. However, the size you have now is 26.3" tall and the tire you would like to go with is 26.7" tall. I don't foresee any major issues with this new size but again I can not guarantee anything at this point. In the 245/40/19 the Michelin Primacy MXM4 and the Pirelli P-Zero Nero AS would be great choices.

Thanks! I was leaning towards the Primacy MXM4 since I had the Primacy MXV4 on my 2006 Lexus GS300 and they were simply the best all round tire. I have Exaltos on my BMW 335xi and the Latitudes on my Mercedes ML. Please let me know when you do get more tire choices in 235/40/19 all season or when you will be testing the new 2013 Lexus GS in your service bay. Otherwise I will go for the 245/40/19 Michelin MXM4 tires in few months and take off the Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02. Not very good reviews so far as I can see for the Turanza EL400-02. They are nice around town and handle well but do get noisy on highways and can get choppy on uneven highways. I had to decrease pressure a bit to make it better. I wonder why Lexus bothered to put such a tire like this on a loaded F-Sport????

It's more the tire and not the XL rating, a better tire even if it is XL rated will be dramatically better comfort. Take a look at the customer survey results for the tire, number 20 out of 20 is the tire that came on the car.

I went ahead and ordered these Michelins Primacy MXM4 tires in size 245/40/19 for my Lexus GS F-Sport and will put your name info in my order today. Let me know when you get it. Thanks again for your comments and feedback. I cannot wait to get the Bridgetones off my car.
