Default Larger Tires

Does anyone have 245/60-18's on their RX 350, instead of 235/60-18's and if so any photos? Thanks.

I run 255-55R18 as my winter set on an aftermarket set of wheels. No recent pics - back to OEM 19s for the summer.

Did you check the tire thread stickied at the top? I seem to remember some pics in there.

I just put on some Yokohama YK 580 245/60/18 on my Lexus a couple of days ago, no issues whatsoever. Looks a tad bit fuller in the wheel well, and still plenty of clearance next to the strut tower. Hooked up the GPS to check the speedometer, and it now seems dead on.

Thanks. I almost ordered those on Friday but I decided to wait until Monday. I'm trying to decide between 3 different Yokohamas. Either the Geolander GO55, the YK580, or the YK-HTX all in 245/60/18. Any thoughts? Please post some pics as I really wanted to see them first before ordering online. I was trying to fill the wheel well a bit. Thanks again!

I always buy my tires at Discount tire, and they didn't stock the G055, plus not too many reviews on that tire to a comparative assessment. The HTX were just too rugged looking for the Lexus, the sidewalls were really 'beefy', plus the reviews I read weren't too positive. The YK 580s look nice and sporty, and the ride is great.
