Lexus Rx450h Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Bridgestone Dueler HL 33 given 60% (235-55-20-)

The only good point of those tyres is the wear. They last a long Time because they are hard AF.
The grip is not bad, but they are noisy unconfortable and they are lacking precision.

Those are definitely not the best of bridgestone.

The Bridgestone's came with the car, with less than 40k on the clock, and I thought they were pretty good. Great grip, both in the dry but also in the longest and wettest Winter I can remember in Southern England for some time. Always felt confident. Almost no road noise and a comfortable ride in most conditions. Now, I've been doing some miles in the past few months, together with carrying some fairly full loads, however, and I hate it when that word crops up, they seem to have worn pretty quickly, particularly the rear two, even when I consider that. Yesterday, I picked up a nail in the rear driver's and had to get it fixed quickly. Luckily I did. A cursory glance most days didn't take in the fact the rear tyres are almost illegal, while the front two have started to crack inside the tread. Result, four new tyres asap. Will probably go Mich this time, if only for the longer wear.

Driving on mostly town for 2000 average miles
Put these on in UK winter 2022/2023 as there was no other option and I was sceptical at first. However on our wintery roads and cold mornings I found these to do the job in suburban UK. For going to work, to the station, the school run and sitting in traffic, I have no problem. I did notice a massive improvement on these wintery mornings over my summer tyres (Bridgestone Duellers) which when on summer tyres my 2.5 tonne SUV did slide and lose grip in the same conditions. A lot of people do go for Crossclimate 2s but I prefer to have dedicated summer and winters on the car and yeah the Yokos do the job. I've not put them through a tough wintery challenge but I think part of the issues people have is down to how they drive. IMHO most people haven't got a clue how to drive in the winter. Would I but these again? If I had to then yes but I would have preferred more choice. Ultimately, they are better than summers or all seasons on the car and I want to be able to get around in the winter.

I'm not a car expert. Having purchased a 2015 RX450h a year ago after a lifetime of driving underpowered "consumer" vehicles, I've found myself delighted and more interested. My experience is limited yet hope it may be of value here. The car came with two new sets from the prior owner: Nexen NFera RU5 summer tires and Yokohama IceGuard G075, both used at 8000' elevation in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. I live at 5600' where the Great Plains literally meet the Front Range foothills. Our snows are intermittent and almost always melt quickly; in all but the most severe storms the roads are cleared overnight with no glaciation. The CrossClimate2's (hereinafter CC2) came to my attention and as I presume you know are already well documented both technically and experientially in YouTube videos. I privately sold both tire sets and mounted the CC2s in April 2021 during the end of our winter snow season. My prior experiences are driving a '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee, an '08 Honda Civic, and an older Camry and Accord, and drove with both Nexens and Yokos on the RX. I average 7000 miles/year. I don't push things; not a fan of G forces, especially on crowded urban roadways and highways, let along high Rocky Mountain S curves. Here's what I can offer so far: - Comfort/dry: the CC2s ride like ghosts…as if they're not there. Now this is on a Lexus RX that itself rides silently and smoothly. Yet I also feel their enhanced grip compared to the other sets. - Snow/braking: I tested the CC2s in an empty parking lot one night with 4-5" of spring slush. I started at one end and floored it to the middle of the lot in the various drive modes. Zero slippage whatsoever except for 2 merest blips of the traction light. In the middle of the run I braked hard, and as the runs when on, harder. Zero skidding and, assuming that Lexus ABS braking feels and sounds like what I've experienced prior in lesser cars, it never engaged in this testing. I'm completely sold. First, for never having to swap tires, wheels, etc. That's a big time, effort, and money saver. Next, the CC2s with their street-legal snowflake winter designation, stellar personal test performance, and video performance in the Swiss Alps indicates that I ought to expect very secure snow performance even to 8-10" on my 5000 lb SUV.

I find these tyres very poor, and the slightest hint of moisture seems to make them slip. They came with my 'new' (used) car and I will be replacing them as soon as I can.

Very good tyres, good handling and performance. Got around 50k kms combined 30% highway and 70% urban driving and still another 20-30k left.

Driving on a combination of roads for 7000 easy going miles
I'm running these on a 2015 Lexus RX450H and crikey, these are dangerous in the wet. I would expect this from a cheap budget tyre but not from these. These are vague at the best of times and after 7k they are also perishing and wearing unevenly. I have had the tracking done a couple of times so I know its not that. they are coming off asap. I'm not a fan of putting myself at risk so please, before you consider these, give them a wide berth.

Writing about the Avon ZX7 given 80% (225-45-19-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 average miles
These replaced awful Dunlop OE tyres in my L:exus RX450h. They7 offer superb dry weather grip, handling and feedback and surprisingly good wet weather grip with little to no understeer or loss of traction even when the going gets very wet!

They proved to be very good in the snow as well as for summer use but for serious off road use thyou're better looking at dedicated off road tyres.

Their one weakness is wear. These tyres have a very high wear rate. I only managed 6,000 miles from my last pair before they needed changing on the fronts. Expect closer to 12k Miels rear. It's the price you pay for the soft compound and superb grip levels.

However, as they are the best, safest, and offer better comfort and much lower noise than the Dunlops they replaced, I'll stick with them.

I have never had such a noisy tire in all my life, different road surfaces play a different tune and not a pleasant one either, there are much quieter tires out there with just as good grip etc so will be looking hard to find one next time round.

Bad tyre! Driving in wet condition can be very dangerous! I have to switch to Eco mode in order to stop excessive wheel spin/ understeer! Just to save my life and other driver...
