recommendations. I do not think the stock all season low profile run flats are going to cut in here in New England, even with my Lexus being AWD. Has anyone yet looked into the different rim/tire options available to us third-gen GS with AWD owners?

Thanks.

My father just purchased a 2006 GS300 AWD with the 17" wheel package and as a gift I purchased a set of 18" G-Spiders for him. Instead of mounting them on the standard run-flats, I used 235/45/18 Toyo Proxes 4's which are an excellent High Performance All-Season tire. The Toyo's can handle moderate snow, but I may just throw on a set of Vredestein Wintrac Extreme's on the orginal 17's for the heavy stuff.
