^^^^This may help you - My post from another thread:

Tires are Michelin PS4S 255/40/21 and 295/35/21 rear - Non RFT

Stock Height

Both Handling and ride are much improved.

with you there. Just noticed your rears seem slightly stretched compared to fronts. I think your fitment is spot on👍🏾

Also interested in knowing.

I can say the Dunlop Runs Flats are very loud.

I know on my GMC 2500 the Michelin are extremely quite, much improvement over the previous Goodyears.

Default Wanted - one lightly used Bridgestone Potenza 275/35/21

Hi All.
I had an unfortunate incident where i damaged the rear OEM Bridgestone tire beyond repair. Wondering if anyone who ditched the OEM tires has one for sale (at least 80% tread). I’m in NYC but willing to pay shipping.

thanks in advance.

It's been awhile since I checked but the local Lexus dealer was able to get them quicker and cheaper than Discount Tire.

So I hit 15k miles on my LC and the original Bridgestone Potenzas are done. I will be buying my new tires at Discount Tire due to friend & family discount and 0% financing, and look at the selection, my choice would be the Michelin Pilot Super Sport Run Flats except they are on backorder with no indication of when they will be available (I also talked to the store and they don't know when they'll be available). I'm in Phoenix so I don't care much about winter and snow performance.

The Michelin's come with a 30k mileage guarantee so that is a big plus compared to the Bridgestones which don't have any guarantee and barely gave me 15k miles.
They said they can get the Micheline Pilot All Seasons (4S) at $2098 even though those say backorder online there is some stock somewhere.
The Pirellis are on backorder also and don't have as good of reviews so I didn't really consider them.

Anyone have any input on which way to go? Should I hold out to try and get the Pilot Super Sports or settle for the Pilot All Season?

My dealer service manager said they get their tires from Discount Tire.

I went with the Michelin all seasons sports but in a conventional tire because RF's are a hard ride and less miles. I also put a 12V plug in tire inflator in the trunk just in case. The conventional tires are giving up to 45K wear as well. 255's front 275's rear.

I had bmw a while back with run flats, replaced them with Michelin pss4 tires and kept inflator in the car, never had issues, will do the same with my ‘24 LC which came with Dunlop run flats.

^^^^Actually the Lexus has changed the stock tire on the MY24 LCs. They now do not come with RFTs, but with conventional Performance Tires with an inflater in the trunk. Recently I have noticed some coming with the excellent Michelin PS5S tire

not entirely true. I have 2024 LC500 coupe. I have seen bespoke cars with Ps5s non RFT but I got regular with all options as I wanted dynamic package which bespoke cars don’t have (there is no rear axle steering in bespoke cars, that I really wanted). Regardless, the bespoke cars are coming with those black wheels and Michelin PS5S tires, while mine had Dunlop RFTs. Mine is fairly new 2024 build as well.
