The OEM Bridgestones are the worst on any model.

I had OEM Dunlop tires on mine which aren't that bad. Quite ride and smooth. So far I have 23k miles on it and hoping I can get to 30k miles on those tires. But will be getting Michellin AS3+ after my Dunlops.

Get the Michelins. The Bridgestones are terrible.

Another for Michelin. While probably not the model you're looking at, I drove a friends 2017 M3 with the new Pilot Super Sports, and they grip like nothing else I have ever driven on, no high end Bridgestone I've ever had even comes close. Have Dunlops on our GS350 and the ride isnt as good as it could be, so will be changing to Michelin Primacy when they are at the end of their life.

I switched from the oem RWD bridgestones to Michelin Pilot sport AS 3+. I like it much better.

The new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is the best all around tire out there IMO

That's what I suggest for your Lexus
