So, if I wanted a softer ride, is there a tire size that works with the factory 20" wheels that would give me a bigger sidewall? 265/50R-20?
I'm running 265/50r-20, and yes it is softer ride then 235/55r/20 also does better on handling. But i'm using on 20X9 wheel, and my wheel is 8 lbs each lighter then stock F-sport wheels.
I was finally able to do this. Got them from Costco on sale for $842 all in. Didn't want to waste the OEM tires so I used them for over 21,000 miles (around 3 years). Now that I have the wider tires, I regret not getting them sooner. I feel that these should be the tires that Lexus ships the 4th generation RX F Sport with. I know it's all about fuel economy and I'll probably take a slight hit on that but the difference in handling is really significant. The RX feels much more planted on the road with these tires on. I was smiling on my way home.
