Best Tires for the Lexus LX

The Lexus LX 600 (2022 to present) is a body-on-frame luxury SUV built on the Land Cruiser platform — which means it is 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 275/55R20 as the standard fitment across most trims. The F Sport trim uses 265/65R18 — a taller, narrower tire on smaller wheels that is actually more capable off-road than the 20-inch setup. Earlier LX 570 (2008 to 2021) uses 285/50R20 on most trims.

The LX is a very heavy vehicle at over 6,000 lbs. Always verify that replacement tires meet the load index required on the door sticker — undersized tires on a 6,000+ lb vehicle 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 CrossClimate2 SUV — the best all-weather choice for LX owners who want genuine winter capability from a single set of tires. Holds the 3PMSF winter rating. Slightly firmer than the CrossContact but meaningfully better in cold and wet conditions.

Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus II — Pirelli premium touring option in 275/55R20. 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 F Sport and off-road builds

BF Goodrich KO2 — the benchmark all-terrain tire for LX F Sport owners on 18-inch wheels using 265/65R18. Proven trail capability, 3PMSF winter rating, and a sidewall tough enough for light rock work. A natural pairing with the F Sport off-road intent.

Falken Wildpeak AT3W — in 265/65R18, the Wildpeak AT3W delivers comparable off-road capability 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. Available in both LX sizes. Good choice for owners who split time between light trails and highway.

Frequently asked

What tire size does the Lexus LX use?

2022 to present LX 600 (most trims): 275/55R20. LX 600 F Sport: 265/65R18. 2008 to 2021 LX 570: 285/50R20. Always verify on the driver door sticker.

How much do Lexus LX tires cost?

275/55R20: $180 to $280 per tire. 265/65R18: $165 to $260 per tire (all-terrain). 285/50R20: $190 to $290 per tire. A full set of four in 275/55R20 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 the F Sport trim which comes on 18-inch wheels suited for all-terrain tire options. The standard 20-inch setup limits all-terrain choices due to the large wheel size and short sidewall. If you want genuine off-road capability, the F Sport 18-inch wheel setup is the right platform.
