Tires
I apologize if it previously stated but I can not find what the OEM tires were on a 2021 with the Touring package. I am looking at one now that has relatively new Bridgestones on it but can not see the date codes or model of the tire. Thank you for your help.

My 2021 came with Bridgestone Potenzas S001L as well. They are run flats. Saved me when I hit a nasty pothole, though would recommend the Michelin's as well.
What I noticed is that the tire pressure on the Bridgestones roses much faster vs. the Michelin's when driving. Might be a side effect of the run flat sidewalls.

My 2023 cabrio came with Bridgestone Potenza run flat's, too. With less than 8K miles on the clock, I've had to replace two of the four already...right rear tire had a nail in the sidewall (that couldn't be repaired
) and two weeks ago the right front tire 'exploded' when I hit a 6-inch-deep pothole @ 65 MPH in the middle travel lane of I-40 in Durham, NC. Thank God the 21" wheel was OK (Lexus told me a replacement is $4K) and the only thing needed was a replacement tire + front end alignment. I'm seriously considering swapping out the run flats for Michelins later this Summer (and getting a spare tire kit).

But my question is since I won't be driving over 100mph, does it matter? The only other choice is installing the wrong size front tire (255s) which I know a lot of guys do without any trouble. However my Lexus Dealer refuses to sell 255s to me. They say I'm on my own if there is a transmission, odometer, speedometer, etc warranty problem.
P S I have a 2024 LC with 21" wheels, but I just noticed you have a 2023 with maybe 20" wheels? So you would have more choices?
