While waiting for my ordered LC to show up, I started looking at Tire Rack for some 21” all-season and winter tires for the winter months, but have not had much luck. What are folks in US using for winter months?

okay found some options at discount-tire…
also changed my tire rack search to search by tire size instead of by vehicle.
Just got these 2 weeks ago from Tire Rack, mobile install...
255/40/21.
295/35/21's on the rear. They had a good inventory when I ordered a few weeks ago.

Thanks! I had been searching only for the OEM sizes.

295/35/21 is too large for the stock wheel. Not something I would do
Seems like a mixed bag of different tires Lexus provided across the years for the LC. My 2025 came with Michelin Pilot Sport S5's. Handeling is great, tires are sticky, but I do hear a little road noise on specific roads. Live in Texas so winters aren't a concern.
A 295 series tire, (20mm wider than a stock 275 series tire-about the width of a dime), is perfectly normal on a LC500 rear wheel.
Keep in mind that you're only adding 10mm, (about half the width of a dime), to each side/half of the wheel.
It's more about preference/availability as to which you choose.
This is a none issue with regards to safety.

Well, all you armchair tire experts, Michelin and all the other tire manufacturers say it's not OK. I'm surprised your tire installer did the installation. But, you will not have a manufacturer's warranty due to going out spec
And, due to sidewall flex with an out-of-spec wheel, your handling will be more sloppy

Was there a noticeable change to your speedometer readings? If there was it’s probably negligible. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
^^^^I'm running 295s on the back with a 10½" wheel and no speedometer readings are not affected. I'm reading the same as when I had stock wheels and tires.
