Lexus IS300 Tire Review Highlights
Very happy with the PS5's. Longer wearing than the PS4's. Grip much the same but I do not push the car as hard as I used to. Much better than the original Bridgestones that I threw away after 20000km as they were dangerous at speed in the wet.

I have used Crossclimate and Crossclimate Plus, both with good ride comfort and reasonable cabin noise. The earlier model had an issue with punctures - this one doesn't. However, while initially handling and wet road performance was good with the CC+, by the second year (I use these as winters and have a separate summer set of wheels and tires) I found the tires to steer scarily in wet conditions and moved them to the rear, where they have been fine. The Gen 1 Lexus IS300 SportCross barely has traction control and power to the rear wheels usually slip easily but wet braking has been fine (not handling). I have not used them in snow and ice as there hasn't been any for the last two years in the north London area. However, I bought Continental All Season Contact for the front axle and while the ride is harder and cabin noise the same, handling in cold, wet winters is much better on the Continentals. Both the Michelin and Continental all season tires cause much heavier steering that when using my summer tire set, however.

As i do a lot of Motorway driving i thought these would be ideal puncture protection. They Handled well in all conditions (except snow, but many don't). Unfortunately the tires lasted approx 10,000 miles and had worn on rear inner edge down to below 1mm with cord showing ! Towards the end of their life (approx5mm) the handling of the car had changed completely, "tram lining", wander, and poor grip. I am very disappointed with the life of these tires (my factory fitted Yokohamas lasted nearly 30,000 miles). Great when new , poor when part worn.Not worth the extra money in my opinion.

After a bit of research I bought these as an alternative to the Yokohama tires fitted as standard. For the price they performed really well. Dry handling is great, but if pushed in the wet can be a bit slippy, sometimes causing the traction control to kick in. Did not wear quite as well as the stock tires and need to change after 20k miles. Also wear on the inside edge, not sure if that is a characteristic of the car, the number of speed humps in my area or the tires. Noise levels are good, which you really notice when in electric mode in a hybrid car, and fuel economy matches the originals. The only thing is they all wear out at the same time so I am now faced with forking out for 4 new tires!

WORST TIRES I EVER PURCHASED!!! THEY ALL (X4) WERE DEFECTIVE. THE TIRES ONLY LAST 13 MONTHS AND BLEW OUT. LESS THAN 10,000 MILES. THESE TIRES ARE GARBAGE!! TRASH

After 1 and half years these tires are holding up great. I've driven a bit over 13,000 miles and still very quiet. Traction is still good. I really have no complaints. I'm more surprised than anything. Good tires for the money. I have them on a Lexus IS300.

Comfort and Performance, grippy tires and more comfortable compared to the stock Potenza RE050. I already lowered the car with tein springs and bilstein performance shocks, and these tires on 18 rims still ride well

I was a Pirelli fan until I got a poor performing batch. Based on reviews here, I tried this tire on my lexus and I have been quite happy. The tires are nearly done, maybe 2ooo miles left in them at most, but they have performed well in city driving, winding and difficult country roads driven way too quickly and on freeways. My only fault is the road noise out of this tire but given the time they've lasted and performance given, it's a minor trade off for quality for money.

Great tire both wet and dry and is the only tire that will keep my rwd in a straight line, only down side to these great tires is the price, but I guess you get what you pay for...

The Yokohama AO41s tires were fitted from new, horrible in the rain and down to the wear bars by 12,900 miles. Not impressed!
