The Lexus LX 600 (2022 to present) is a body-on-frame luxury SUV built on the Land Cruiser platform. That means it's simultaneously one of the most capable off-road SUVs money can buy and one of the most refined. Tire choice on the LX reflects that duality: touring highway comfort for most owners, and genuine all-terrain or off-road capability for the buyers who bought an LX for what it can do.
Lexus LX tire sizes
The 2022 to present Lexus LX 600 uses 265/65R18 as the base fitment on most trims, with 265/55R20 as a step-up wheel package. The F Sport and Ultra Luxury trims use 265/50R22, a lower-profile, larger-wheel setup that's more street-focused than the base 18-inch fitment. Earlier LX 570 (2008 to 2021) used 285/50R20 for most years, with 275/50R21 appearing on later wheel packages.
The LX is a very heavy full-size SUV. Always verify that replacement tires meet the load index required on the door sticker. Undersized tires on a vehicle this heavy are a safety issue.
Best all-season touring tires for the Lexus LX
Continental CrossContact LX25: the top all-season touring pick for LX owners who primarily drive on pavement. Excellent wet traction, very low road noise for a tire this size, and a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty. Best for owners who bought an LX for the Lexus ride experience.
Michelin Defender LTX M/S2: Michelin's long-life light-truck all-season in the LX's base 265/65R18 fitment. Outstanding tread life for a heavy luxury SUV, with composed wet braking and a quiet highway ride.
Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus II: Pirelli's premium touring alternative. Strong wet performance and a competitive treadwear rating. A solid choice when the Michelin or Continental are unavailable.

Best all-terrain tires for the Lexus LX and off-road builds
BF Goodrich KO2: the benchmark all-terrain tire for LX owners on the base 18-inch wheel package using 265/65R18. Proven trail capability, 3PMSF winter rating, and a sidewall tough enough for light rock work.
Falken Wildpeak AT3W: in 265/65R18, it delivers off-road capability comparable to the KO2 at a lower price. More comfortable on-road than most all-terrains in this size, with a 3PMSF rating.
Toyo Open Country AT3: a strong all-terrain option with better on-road manners than the KO2, at a slight cost in extreme off-road grip.

Frequently asked
What tire size does the Lexus LX use?
2022 to present LX 600 (most trims): 265/65R18 base, 265/55R20 step-up. LX 600 F Sport / Ultra Luxury: 265/50R22. 2008 to 2021 LX 570: 285/50R20, or 275/50R21 on later wheel packages. Always verify on the driver door sticker.
How much do Lexus LX tires cost?
265/55R20: $180 to $280 per tire. 265/65R18: $165 to $260 per tire (all-terrain). 285/50R20 (LX 570): $190 to $290 per tire. A full set of four in 265/55R20 installed typically runs $720 to $1,120 at a West Georgia shop.
Can I put all-terrain tires on my Lexus LX?
Yes, especially on base trims, which come on 18-inch wheels suited for all-terrain tire options. The F Sport / Ultra Luxury 22-inch setup limits all-terrain choices due to the large wheel size and short sidewall. If you want genuine off-road capability, the base 18-inch wheel setup is the right platform.
How do I know when my Lexus LX needs new tires?
Watch for tread worn toward the wear bars, sidewall cracking or bulges, tires past about six years old, or vibration and longer wet stops. On a vehicle this heavy, tired tires stretch your stopping distance more than on a lighter SUV, so do not push a marginal set. A shop can measure tread and check the sidewalls for you.
