Read the sticky tire thread at the top of the main RX350 page. Many brands and models of tires are discussed. You can also read recommendations and tire reviews at www.tirerack.com Or just get the General Altimax.

Or else if you are a Costco member, you can get deals with tires on sale, either Michelins or Bridgestones. Can not go wrong with either. I am partial with Bridgestones (less cost).

I tried the Yokohama's AS ( forgot which model) and it did not have traction in wet we were used to.
We now have Michelin Premier LTX AS and found to be excellent.
BTW, we have 19 factory wheels on our RX450h due to the F Sport appearance option

Michelin Premier LTX DT / TPMS replacement
BTW, I like the tires. Good grip in the rain, quiet on the freeway.

New Tires for RX 350 2010
My tires are due for replacement and last time I got Michelin Latitude Tour HP at Costco.
Any reason I should try another brand or style this time?
I'm not terribly versed in tires and haven't bought for 6 years. I don't do a lot of daily driving but do take long road trips with the car when in town.

i don’t know if these would be an improvement for you but I purchased these based on a lot of research and reviews. So far I am very happy with them.

A few days after the tire installation, the low tire pressure light came on. America's Tire rep. used his gizmo to check the tire pressure sensors and one came up bad. He said they fail at around 8-10 years, so I had them install four new ones at $257 OTD.

H vs V speed rating tires on RX350
Hello all,
My question concerns speed rating of tires for the RX 350. My 2015 RX350 non-F sport has 101V speed rating tires on it. Is it safe to run H rated tires on the car instead given that it is an SUV? Will I sacrifice handling? The car is used to commute on I-95 about 60 miles everyday so I want it to be safe. Thank you.

See my post about the Falken Wildpeak AT Trail. Or, my wife has Yokohama Geolander AT GO15 on her car. Both are 3 peak snow rated for what it's worth. Both are quiet tires and have good warranties. Neither of those should leave you wanting for traction. I've gotten a couple thousand miles on the Falkens ans theyve been great thus far.
My RX350 came with Uniroyal tires that seem to do decent. I was curious what the Falkens look like on the RX since its not really an off-road SUV. Do you have any photos? On my GX470 i had BFG TA KO2's and they were great - that thing was a tank in the snow and i never got stuck.

So is there a general consensus for the "best" tires to get?
I drive a 2014 Lexus Rx350 with 19inch wheels. I am looking to purchase new tires that maximize comfort, can grip well in the rain, and doesn't produce excess road noise as I daily drive my vehicle!

I continue to believe that the best bang-for-the-buck all-season SUV tire is the General Altimax RT43. I put a set of them on my 2013 Subaru Outback 3.6R in early December 2016 and they are still in great shape after about 21,000 miles (a 50/50 mix of highway/city driving). Great rain traction (they have never hydroplaned), great snow traction, quiet, straight-tracking, and a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty from Discount Tire. When the mediocre Kumho Solus KL21 tires on my wife's 2015 RX350 wear out, it will be getting a set of the Altimax RT43 tires as well. You can choose between the H-rated version and the V-rated version. I went with the H-rated version for longer treadlife and the fact that SUVs are not performance vehicles and typically do not benefit from having V-rated tires installed.
