Summer Tire Suggestions For Lexus Is350 (19's)

[LEX-SV]

I have Toyo T1R's on my Lexus IS350 that will be nearly worn out by end of year probably.

Any recommendations for summer tires other than Hankook Ventus V12's?...

Hi St.

This is always a popular topic. In addition to your posting, I would suggest doing a search of the data base. You'll find quite a number of opinions.

Those in the Club who drive ESs' have a leaning towards the Michlen Primacy. It is very quiet, smooth as glass, excellent wear, and a reasonable price. A look at Tire Rack can give you some good info. plus more research on other brands.

Yes, thanks. I looked earlier on Tire Rack and noticed the Toyo T1R's are back on the market (I originally thought they were being discontinued), anybody no about that maybe?.

The T1R is Z-rated summer tire, so I'm looking for something competitive with that, the Hankook Ventus V12's are comparable for example.

I'll get the Hankooks by Ocotober, before rains.

Tires installed today, but not much chance to drive it. Decided to change my wheels at same time to Vossen CV3 19's in matte graphite.

This weekend I'll take it out and put some easy miles on it to break in the new Hankook tires.
