jake Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Bought an 04 GX470 at end of December 03. Have had many 4x4 vehicles in past, and was unhappy with the way the vehicle stopped and turned on snow covered roads. It came with Bridgestone Dueler H/T tires. I was looking at the Michelin Cross Terrain (which Lexus does recommend as a replacement), but also looking at Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo which I have read some very good reviews about, but Lexus has no recommendation for this tire. Anyone have experience with these tires, especially the A/T Revo? Thanks, Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gx470forme Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Well, I can only comment on the Michelin Cross Terrians. I tow a snowmobile in the winter time and they were flawless in the snow. That tire coupled with the GX's 4-Wheel Drive System, makes it a dream in the winter conditions. Ice is another matter though, and any tire (unless it is an ice specific tire) will slip on icy roads and does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 What exact size tire do you need jake? The Michelins are an excellent choice but there maybe a couple others I can weed out. Is snow one of your main concerns or wet weather performance too? Will you be taking it off road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 The tire size is P265 65/R17. Main problem was way Bridgestone H/T handled in the snow. No off road use. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 In that size, it appears the Michelin is the best available for your needs. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denslexusgx470 Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 michelin cross terrains are the best. mine, at 20k, has about 10/32 left, and the original was 11/32! i was a bit surprised when my service advisor yesterday told me that! only thing, brakes are going fast! i'm more than half way done! :chairshot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Have AT/Revo on my other jeep... they r nice tires on snow as well as if you take them offroad.... they have a decent wet driving comfort too.. but the only negative is that they r very noisy on highway driving... since GX is already a noisy suv on high speeds... tires make it ridiculous... but it depends on the use. And personally i think switchin from duelers to cross terrains is only advisable if lexus is compensating for the switch. if not, then i would recommend that you consider TOYO"S. They r fabolous tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
