Default Tires
I bought set of four new General Altimax RT43 tires for my ES only to find out that rating on them is 94T instead of 94V, 118mph vs 149mph. I rarely go over 100mph anyways, what you all think, are they gone be OK for my 2016 ES350 or should I look for 94V ones?

I think you will be just fine as long as you continue to "rarely go over 100 mph" or slow down a bit.

I just put Michelin premier a/s 94v tires on mine. Have been over 100 once or twice for the novelty, but that was it. Besides, what do these cars top out at?

Apparently 130MPH (electronically limited) according to Top Speed:

https://www.topspeed.com/cars/lexus/...-ar162968.html

Need at least an H rating (130MPH) or better yet a V,W or Y for a safety margin.
