Anyone have recent picture and/or feedback on putting 255/55R18 Tires on stock OEM 2013 RX350 Rims? Any rubbing or did you need spacers or is it a perfect fit? I am currently running 235/60R18 tires. The 255/55R18 diameter is almost exactly the same just a tad bit wider..... thoughts????

A site that I use is Tire-calc which shows about 3/4 inch wider and same diameter which will be 3/8" on either side, won't be any rubbing with 255/55r18's but phone Costco or local tire shop to confirm;

Looking to pull the trigger on a set of tires in the next day or two. After much research, I have narrowed it down to the Conti LX25 or Conti DWS06 Plus. Has anyone here tried the DWS06 or considered it? I sure wish Costco carried Conti, but they don't, around here anyway. I did take a real close look at Pirelli and Michelin because that's what Costco carries. Thanks.

 

The Conti DWS06 is a performance tire. The RX is NOT a performance vehicle. Go with the Conti LX25. It is made for these crossovers and will last much longer than the DWS06.

 

I have owned both the LX25 and the DWS06 (on parents Accord and my Passat), I've never even considered putting a DWS06 on an RX. I would tend to agree, go with the LX25. I don't have a direct comparison, but I am one of the few that did not like the DWS06 on my Passat. It was a highway cruiser, the DWS06 had glowing reviews and were available so I did it, only to find it was not any quieter than the 8 year old touring tires they replaced. Lots of noise over expansion joints and imperfect roads.

 

Awesome, thanks guys! I was leaning in that direction, so that made it easy.

I just ordered the Pirelli - Scorpion All Season Plus 3. Read some good reviews about them. I’ll update after a few miles on them.

I think the TPMS is original. I guess I should change them. Where should I get the replacements and what brand?

 

What size did you get? I’m looking at 255/55R18 on OEM wheels. They are a lot wider than the factory 235/60R18’s with almost the same overall diameter with no rubbing. Definitely get all new quality TPMS sensors.
