Default Closeout Michelin X-Ice Xi2 Plus $70 Rebate - Lexus IS300/IS250 AWD fitment

The Michelin X-Ice Xi2 has been moved to a closeout price in the 225/40/R18 size, plus Michelin has a $70 rebate on a set of four. This is a dedicated winter studless ice and snow tire. This is the #1 rated winter tire according to our customer survey results, but will no longer be made in this size.

Would this work on an IS350 RWD?

No, the rear tire on the IS350 RWD and IS250 RWD models have a tire which is about 1" taller in the rear than in the front. If you changed to the same ride height front and rear it would cause the ABS to malfunction and an error light to come on. The rear tire would need to be 225/45R18 and the front is the 225/40R18.
