Unless you were lucky enough to get an early one with the new Michelin Pilot Sport S5’s.
I had a new XKR years back that came with Dunlop Sport Maxx's, once I changed to Pilots it was a night/day difference. Hope these new ones are much better.

Lovely, are they still that bad? Why in heaven’s name did Lexus use these on the LC? They’re supposedly an all new version.

Let’s hope the new ones are better, the fact they’re conventional is a good start.

no issues on my 24LC, mature driver...tires ride nice, no noise to speak of...and I like the raised ridge of rubber right at the rims edge to help with curb rash..No reason to switch so far..Dunlop is owned by Sumitomo and are made in Japan so Im counting on the quality to be there..

Glad to hear this. fyi the wear rating is only 280 so don't expect too much longevity and I believe GoodYear still owns the majority of Dunlop's non-motorcycle tires, but I could be mistaken.

That's what is on our '24. As said above, I think they're fine. This is our road trip car. I do run Michelin's on our other cars that are more sport.
