Default Tires for '03 LX470?

Greetings!

I need to replace the tires but having trouble finding the 275/60/18 locally in small town MS.

I may be able to order online; options are General Grabber HTS, Continental CrossContact LX or Michelin Latitude Tour HP.

Any suggestions on these or other?

Would you recommend 285 on the 18"?

Thanks.

The 285/60-18 will be fine.

I got Michelin LTX2's in 275/65R18 (32") from my local lexus dealer. I was planning to get the Michelin AT's, but they didn't have enough in the warehouse and the LTX2's (new) have a 60K mi wear warranty while the AT's didn't. If you want a highway tire, the Michelin latitude's are available in the 275/60R18 size.

Thanks Hoser and Jim.

Found a good tire dealer (Bates Tire) in a near-by town 30 mins away in Columbus, MS. They searched their suppliers and found a set of 4 General Grabber HTS from 2 different sources. Supposed to come in next week.

Also, did alignment there -- great job by the tech & very honest. They were highly recommended by a colleague who takes his Lotus there.
