Without actually going to dealer lot and see what tire brand go on which RX350, Is there any way to tell which brand of tires the factory put on this car? I am hoping that the car that has the Premium package has the Michelin as I found the one that I have on my rig is quiet and comfy.

RX tires
Comparison Bridgestone 442 plus to Mechelin tires that come standard on 2018 RX. Which gives better/softer ride? Mileage comparison.

As per my other recent post, my OEM Michelin tires appear to be approaching their end soon at 18,000 miles. Common here in Pittsburgh to only get that kind of mileage. I priced another set of these at about $850, including installation, vs the OEM Bridgestone tires at about $100 less ($25/tire or $750 for 4, installed). Might the Bridgestones last longer? What about some other tire? What do you folks recommend?

TIRES: Bridgestone or Michelin 20”?
Hi first post but been a long time lurker. Really appreciate the community thus far. I just wonder why my 2016 4RX350 had 20” Michelin Premier LTX on the vehicle but all the other RX’s i see on the road have Bridgestone Ecopias on? Is it a specific range of 4RXs that are equipped with the far superior LTX tires? Manufacture date 07-16. What tires are on your 4RX? |
mines have the 20" bridgestone tire and mines is a 18 rx450h im planning to switch it out with Michelin tire since I got good experience with the tire that I got on my other cars. I don't mind paying more for the good traction and road noise.

I have the Michelins as well and they are wearing quite well despite the stories I hear. Approaching 20k and they will be good for another 20k or so.

So it costs you $.047 per mile for just tires?

I understand that tires mounted on "20 inch" wheels do not get as good mileage experience as those on 18" rims. I have seen Lexus warnings to this effect.???

the michelins start with 8.5/32 come on the Lux package in the states (at least on my 17rx lux) |
I just bought a RX350 which includes luxury package , 20 inch wheels and my tires are the Bridgestones. |

My CPO MY2016 RX 350 F Sport came with the Bridgestone Ecopias tires, while my parent's 2017 RX 350 F Sport came with Michelin Premier LTX tires. I've driven both extensively and can't really tell the difference in terms of handling and road noise. For those who have used both, which one seems to last longer? Both of the RX's in our family don't do huge mileage so I can't comment on longevity yet.

Bridgestone Ecopia Tires and Hydroplaning
Has anyone noticed their Bridgestone Ecopia tires hydroplaning after normal wear? I have 21,000 miles & I rotate my tires every 5,000 miles. My tires don’t show any accelerated wear & have plenty of tread left, yet they are beginning to hydroplane a lot at highway speeds. I’m wondering if this is a normal thing with these “low rolling resistance” tires. I would gladly give up a little fuel mileage to not have to fight this. It’s annoying & scary & shouldnot be happening at this low of mileage. |
