Tires nx300h

[Sandy g]

Time for tires on my nx300h any recommendations for a low road noise tire? Or tires to stay away from? Thanks

I'd stick with Japanese tires, such as Yokohama, Sumitomo, Bridgestone, Toyo, etc. Also, look at UTQG Tire rating, as this will indicate how long they should last/perform. I've always used Bridgestone and will say they are one of the better brands across the board. This is based on my personal experience/opinion and have them on my 3 vehicles (GTR, 370Z, and the NX300).

Never had better tyres for any car than Continental.

Quiet and long lasting, many of them self repairing for tiny holes.

Just got a shock this week when I went checking for the spare tire in the NX350h.

There was none. It comes with a can of sealant and a compressor for the installed 235/60R18 103H BRIDGESTONE ALENZA A/S 02 Run Flat RFT tires. 

That's a whole different ball game that I wasn't expecting.  It wasn't advertised for good reason probably.  The sealant can also ruin the TPMS senders when used.  Cost more to replace on the wheel.  Only advantage is that you can drive to a tire store instead of replacing the tire in traffic.

But as far as tire recommendations, I only buy Michelins when possible.

The sealant from Lexus is unfortunately latex based which is the worst. Impossible to clean rims after using it. If they should block the pressure sensor in the wheels I find it hard to believe.

Sealant that can close holes in the crazy people running desert race should be good enough to take care of most of the punctures we get driving on normal roads.

I use Quadboss sealant - https://www.amazon.com/QuadBoss-Tire-Sealant-32oz-Bottle/dp/B000WK268W

When folks driving like this can use it - it could be good - https://quadboss.com/

Have used it on my downhill bike and it is easy to clean (no latex in it) - it does not dry out even on a very warm island. Tyres wear out before the sealant is dry. Never had to walk home because a flat and thorns and lava (sharp as glass) are all over where I drive.

No - I do not work for them, I have to buy, but this is the only sealant I will use having tried maybe all that is on the market.

 

Putting sealant in a flat is a lot easier than having to change wheels.

Thanks John! I will definitely use that link in my research.

I'm fairly sure that if I had to TRY to repair a tire out on the road, I'd just as soon call for a tow with a dolly.

Cost of replacing a TPM and re-calibration would not be much more fun.
