Default F Sport tire sizes

....On stock AWD 19" rims.

What are people using? Anything oversized from 235/40-19 stock size? Pictures?

Thanks!

I took the advice of others on here and went up a size on the RWD model to 245/40R19 and 275/35R19. No issues whatsoever. Chose the Michelin Pilot AS3+ since I'm in Atlanta and could only be happier if they were cheaper.

I'm also using the Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3+ 245/40/19 Front and 275/35/19 Rear.

Decent side view


And one from underneath that shows the width/tread pattern

I suspect you can go a size up without issue, after looking at the clearances I think I could have gone with my original plan of going 2 sizes up (255/40/19 and 285/35/19).

They're RC350 F Sport rims. They have the same exact specs as the GS350 F Sport rims.

Default Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus - 235/40/R19

Thanks!
Here are the Cinturato P7 All Season Plus tires (235/40R19) on a 2015 Lexus 350 GS AWD with 19" wheels. It is not an F-Sport, but has all of the upgrades available.
The P7's are a little more rounded and less aggressive looking than the Michelin Primacy MXV4 that were stock.
The MXV4 were rated 500 A A (50,000 miles), but I only got 38,800 miles out of them before I had to get new tires (with mostly interstate driving).
I got the P7's at Discount Tires for about $209 a tire. A little over $1,000 with balance, mount, reseal on the TPMS, and tax. A little over $1,100 if you add the
replacement warrantee.

Good Luck and I hope this helps.

P7 - 235/40R19: Driver Rear

P7 - 235/40R19: Passenger Side

Where in Atlanta did you get yours done? I'll be needing to do the same at some point.

Hi, new to the GS 350 f sport rwd fam,

since we cant rotate tires, how often were you guys changing your tires?

30k? 40k miles?

My 2014 GSF rwd was bought CPO with new Bridgestone RE050A tires in may of 2015 car had 17K miles. I'm at 39.5K miles and the tires are almost down to the wear bars. I'll be getting new tires is the next couple of weeks. But yes, original F sport tires can last up to 30K if you drive like a granny, but drive if you drive like I drive expect 15K -20K from the tires. I'm thinking of getting A/S tires next and moving to 245/40/19 front and 275/35/19 rears, so I can get more mileage from them and more tire selection.

Im upgrading the rear tires to 275/35/19. Once the front ones wear out, i'm going up in size on those too, 245/40/19. Running Toyo Tires Proxes A/S Sport

I thought on the AWD since the rear wheels aren't as wide as the RWD rear wheels that max you could go all around was 245?
