Tires just don't last

So I purchased two sets of Michelins my last go a round for tires. LX570 tires are shot and went exactly 20k miles. My LS430 also needs tires and they went 25k miles. Rotated every 5k miles. No aggressive driving or country roads. As a kid my tires would last 50 and 60 k miles. This designed-in obsolescence that the engineers have formulated is worthy of a congressional probe. Sad, that we have allowed tired companies to do this to us.

Didn't mean to make the Latitudes sound bad. I just remember Lexus used a different Michelin tire before the LX570 in 08, both in GX which was Cross Terrain that lasted forever. And our LX470 was Michelin LTX which also lasted a lot time.

We have the 21" Yokohama Geolandar tires and they seem to be wearing very well and my wife never complains about anything (tire related 
) although the closest to "off-road" that this vehicle has seen is the occasional speed bump at Costco.

I just got the TRD PRO BBS 18", the ones that come on some Tundra's. They fit perfect and Offset is the same as the stock wheels, no spacers or anything else needed.
I'm running 36psi. I found the set on the Mud forum, the person who bought this wanted to get 17" wheels and 34" tires so he put them up for sale locally.

You HAVE to rotate the tires like absolute clockwork bc of the full time 4WD to get the most out of them.
I'm fine with the AWD but honestly I'd rather have an option to leave it in 2.

One of the first things I did when I got my 2017 LX new was to replace the wheels with Land Cruiser 18" rims and put Michelin Latitude tires on them.
I only have 20,000 miles on the car and the tires are not even halfway worn. Great tires. Also, 18" rims and tires improve the ride quality significantly with very little loss in handling. Highly recommended.
