Default RC 350 F Sport question

Hello All,

I am a little confused about something here, I have ordered an RC 350 F Sport and it is an AWD car and thought it came with
all weather tires. After reading the F Sport specs it states it comes with 4 summer tires (RWD), so does this mean I have to store
these tires some were next winter and purchase all weather tires? Am I missing something here.
Also, did not realize that this car can also do RWD. Again, somewhat confused.
Thanks

AWD models will come equipped with all season tires. The car will always be in AWD but with a slight rear bias. There's no way to send power exclusively to the rear wheels.

Hi yardie876 - So why does the F Sport specs state summer tires (RWD)? This is stated in my car build

The AWD RC350 F-Sport is a completely different trim/model from the regular RC350 F-Sport within the Lexus RC lineup. You're reading specs for the wrong car probably, assuming you're 100% sure you bought the AWD car.

All AWD models come with all seasons. Regular RWD RC350 F-Sports come with summers.

I believe it's referring to the fact that summer tires are part of the F-Sport package on RWD equipped cars.
