None of the ES 7th Gen trims have run flat tires. I think the LC 500 does. I guess I could see it on cars that don't carry a spare, but they are crazy expensive to replace.

When it’s time for new tires, you can replace all four with standard run flats, right?

Don't quite understand what you are saying. The roadside assistance coverage is for 48 mths which includes tire change. After that towing is covered due to a failure of a warranted part which would not cover a tire change. This is my quote from above "Haven't looked lately but think that is a courtesy covered under basic warranty of 48 mths. After that the towing etc would have to be caused by an item under warranty. After the 48 I got it through my insurance co."

I'll have to read the small print on the SOS function. My 2013 Avalon Limited had I think a 3 year trial of Safety Connect (SOS). After that you had to pay for the service on a annual basis. It covered towing and roadside assistance. I used it twice and just hit the SOS button. I never paid anything other than the subscription.
Speaking of Toyotas. I thought I saw on YouTube that Toyota customers were complaining about having to pay for "NAV Assistant" after the trial period. I think the compromise from Toyota was that if you subscribed (paid) to any connected service they included the "Nav Assistant". I haven't heard of Lexus doing the same.
Anybody in the know?

If you should find yourself in need of Roadside Assistance please do one of the following:
...
3. Regardless of years of ownership or mileage on the vehicle, if you have an active Safety Connect subscription utilize the Enhanced Roadside Assistance by pressing the "SOS" button to reach the response center and the agent can provide you with a wide range of needs like towing, flat tire repair and fuel delivery just to name a few.

Safety Connect covers more than just using the SOS button to connect to the Lexus Safety Connect response center for help. It includes STOLEN VEHICLE LOCATER, ENHANCED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE BUTTON (SOS), and AUTOMATIC COLLISION NOTIFICATION (as the My Lexus Connected Technology web page categorizes the components).

For model years 2019 to 2022, Destination Assist (for Navigation equipped ESs) is $80 per year after the 1 year trial period. Since it isn't much more than having a Lexus support drone look up a desired destination using a web search engine and then downloading the location into the vehicle's navigation system probably not that many people continue on with paying for it after the trial period.
For model years 2023 and later, Destination Assist is bundled in with the Drive Connect subscription which is $16 per month after the (if any) trial subscription period expiration. So, even though there's isn't a separately cancellable charge for it one is still paying for it with a paid Drive Connect subscription.
