What size is every running? I'm having a hard time finding winter tires for the stock rim size. The stock tires are 255/35/19 and 275/35/19.
If I go with the Pirelli Sottozero Series II, they have 255/35/19 and 265/35/19. Is the 265 okay in the rear?

 

265 will work in the rears. Probably would be slightly better in the snow than 275s would be anyways.

 

If I’m getting new wheels for winter, what would be a good fit?
not looking for something fancy. Just something I can get around in the snow with.

 

I run Sottozero Series 3 tires, they have them in stock GS F sizes.

 

I do not see a 255/35/19 and 275/35/19 on Sottozero 3.

 

Pirelli has both sizes listed, and I got my set through Costco after some digging (I'm in Canada). You may have to look around to find a place that offers both sizes.

Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3
255/35R19
275/35R19

These are the tire sizes I ordered when I got them from the dealership.

 

Thanks. I see it now on tirerack.com
I don’t plan on taking the car out when there’s snow on the ground or even wet and salty for that matter. But as of right now with the stock summer tires, I can’t even get out of the driveway if I need to use the vehicle. I want the safety insurance of having it and not needing it than needing it and not having it.
Will look for a set of wheels as well. Was looking at the Vossen HF5 in black for summer and using stock wheels for winter. But these stock wheels are super expensive so I’m not sure which I want to use for winter.
Mounting and unmounting tires on the same wheel twice a year runs into a high chance of scratching and damaging the wheel.
Also, can anyone tell me if the vehicle will recognize another set TPMS? I don’t want to remove and reinstall the same set on different set of tires.

 

You're better off mounting it twice each year. I've been mounting my winter wheels for many years and it's always such a pain to do, especially if you have to lug them around. You can have the shop replace a tire easily and check for damage, and it's so much lighter to carry around just the rubber. Just my personal opinion. I usually wait until the daytime temp reaches 45F or so to set up my winter tires.

 

I run 245 front 265 back for Toronto winters. Get the Michelin tires.

 

With the stock Lexus wheels?

 

Ended up getting another set of wheels (used) and mounted winter tires and ceramic coated the wheels. Now I can swap summer / winter wheels.

 

nice!! How you deal with the TPMS?
Does our car capable of reading two separate sets of TPMS?

 

The wheels came with the original sensors. I have the IDs for the sensors and either the car will auo-learn them, or I will use the carista App to re-program the new IDs.

 

nice! Where'd you find the used set of wheels? just curious, I've been looking for a backup set of oe wheels. Been hard yo find.
