Lexus shows 3 tires Size: 275/50R21 available for this vehicle.
i have the Dunlop Grandtek that came on vehicle which are okay but
does anyone have experience with the other tires they list?

Yokohama

Geolandar H/T G056

Dunlop

Winter Maxx SJ8

thanks in advance for your help.

 

There are no good tires for 21" wheels. Use 20" or better, 18" wheels.

 

^Thread.

I simply bought a set of Tundra 18" take-off's at my local Lexus dealer. FAR better choice in tires.

 

I appreciate the comments but nevertheless I plan to keep the 21” wheels since I don’t use 4 WD except when it snows which isn’t often in Alabama or on the occasion I launch boats.
Just trying to find out people’s experiences with the Yokohama Geolander and the Dunlop Wintermax tires.

 

I won't use Yokohama / Dunlap;

 

How do you like the 18” setup - I M thinking about getting some 18” trd styled wheels from tundra or sequoia.

 

No issues in 3+ years. As you would expect, you've got a myriad of tires to pick from v. 21" wheels.

My Tundra wheels are definitely not the TRD version(s)...I was looking for something simple and not too pricey. Local Lexus dealer had a set of Tundra take-off's...simple, basic, steel wheels. But great for winter tires where the truck may not get washed and waxed once a week. I got all 4 with correct lug nuts, TPMS senders, and hub caps for $200, and had Blizzaks mounted. They normally go on in mid-November, and off around late March. If you decide to go the budget route, be aware that lug nuts are VERY different on steel wheels v. oem aluminum...lug nut torque on oem wheels is 99 ft./lb., but around 140 ft./lb. for steel wheels.

I am selling this very good condition set of 18" OEM 5x150 Toyota Tundra Aluminum Alloy Wheels for 400 if you or anyone else is looking to upgrade to a bigger tire. These OEM wheels will fit any LX 570 and are hubcentric. Will ship at cost.

 

If you were local, I'd be over in an hour or two.

Your price is great. I'd advertise them in the marketplace here and also on ih8mud.com.

 

Thanks, hankinid. If I don't sell them locally within a few days maybe we can make a deal. It's easier to sell locally obviously but I've shipped wheels before.

 

Chocolate, it would have to be an unbelievable deal...I went with the Tundra wheels since they're essentially zero maintenance in the winter.

Hope you have a good weekend.

Hey all

Side question but related - I changed my wife's 16 LX rims to a Tundra 18" wheels. She was getting the standard maintenance at our Lexus dealership (Park Place Lexus, Plano, TX) and the service advisor said that non-factory rims are not good for the LX and to switch back to the 21s.
Is there any truth to this? The car rides and drives fine, TPMS sensors etc all calibrated so unsure how to take the SA's comments - my wife is freaked out because she thinks the rims are unsafe or something.
I think other markets (i.e. Asia, Russia) use smaller rims for the LC/LX anyway...

 

They weren't the 21s, but I had the Geolandar on my 4Runner before getting the LX. Big Fan. Ran great for 65,000 miles before I traded the car in.

 

Yes great price! thank you for the offer, I am looking for permanent replacement for the 21" wheels and no place to store an extra set.

 

There is NO truth to this, as you've noted.

Your wife is definitely SAFE...any steel or aluminum rim with five 14mm holes on a 150mm bolt-center-diameter, and the correct inside diameter big hole in the middle will work...Tundra, Sequoia, Land Cruiser, or LX. I guarantee the service advisor at Park Place has seen non-stock LX wheels.

21 inch wheels are, simply, a bastard diameter...as you've noticed.
