Agreed. I also have the same tires on my Honda Pilot, and its the only reason I find that vehicle bearable to drive lol.

Hey Zink,

Sorry for the super late question. (Over a year after your post) Just got a '18 LX570 and putting the BFG TAKO2' (275/60/R20) on as well. Did you trick the sensors to stay in high mode or did you put in high just for the picture? Curious how it looks in Neutral.

Thanks! AJ

No special tricks I'm afraid, I just took the pic on high mode as it looked better!! It looks absolutely fine in normal mode and the tires have worked out great. I'm still running 42 psi and the tires are wearing evenly and ride well. I rotate every 5,000 miles.

Excellent. Thank you so much. I appreciate the response. I’ll take your advice and run it that way. I’ll post pics when it’s all completed. I also had to swap out to the 20’s to use the BFG. Thanks again.

Greetings! I'm coming from the GS-F forum because I might be buying one of these LX-570 before they lose the 5.7L V8 on model year 2022 (presumably). The question I have is in relation to OEM 20” wheel width using 275 tires vs. 285 tires; BFG KO2's... Does anyone know the OEM 20" wheel width? Is it 7.5" or 8" wide? Kind of important as the minimum wheel width required for utilizing KO2s changes from a minimum rim width of 7.5" for 275 tires to 8" wide for 285... I just haven't been able to find the width of that OEM 20” wheel so if you know it, please let me know.

Thank You

Both the 20" & 21" wheels are 8.5" wide. The 20" wheels are spec'd with 285 width tyres as standard equipment.

Thank you very much for the info and reply! Happy to see that Lexus did the right thing by giving these OEM wheels a middle of the range width spec.

This was an excellent thread to read and thank you all for the efforts!

Also, do you think 275/60R20 will fit without any mods?

I put my KO2s on at 53K. Now at 106K. I'd say down to about 7/32 and just starting to show a little wear. I think i'll end up putting about 10K more miles on them. 275/60r20s run at 42psi.

Way late to this thread but lots of great and relevant comments. Coming at you from the US with a 2014 LX 570 original factory 20in wheels. Time to replace my tires and my current plan is to go with : Toyo Open Country R/T Trail 285/55 R20. Another owner liked the ride and stated acceptable road noise compared to other AT tires. My question is which ply to go with? Tire store says 10 ply....can others offer input as there is obviously quite a large price different. FYI, also plan to powder coat OEM rims in gloss black (my wife's 2021 GX has this it looks great). Love to hear any comments or see pics of black finish on original wheels. Thank you.

Which ply selection is good up and beyond around 4 tons?...that's around a fully loaded maximum weight for your LX.
