I assume your lease is almost up being a 2018? If so you can get any tire you want thats the same brand at any place. Tirerack, Discount tire, Mavis, local tire shop, dealer your choice.

Just make sure, as coolsaber says, that it's the exact same brand, model, size etc. as the other 3.

Yea if your leasing dealer is a PITA and you dont intend to reup, they might pull that card out "off brand tire pay us $999 for replacement".

Not all brands are the same tire depth when new, i.e. some Michlein Tires start with 9/32 tread depth in some sizes. If yours had 9/32 when new, then 6/32 might be OK for the miles driven?

I have a 2014 RX, I believe I got about 24k before I had to replace my tires. Always checked the pressure, etc., and these were Goodyear Tires. Switched to Michelin which hopefully will last at least 30k- unless I trade before that!

I have always used Michelins as replacement tires on many of my vehicles. They all measured 10/32 when new and I got 60-65k out of them. Leased a 2017 RX that came with Michelins and they measured 8/32 when new. They now have 6-7/32 with 20,900 miles on them. That's the difference between OEM and aftermarket Michelins. At least in my case.

The tires had 10/32 when new.

According to Michelin and Bridgestone's web sites, the Michelin Premier LTX starts at 8.5/32" tread, while the Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 422 starts at 10/32" tread. So, depending on which tires you have, 6/32" sounds about normal for the Michelins; and likely par for the course with the oft-criticized Ecopias.

Went through my old records, and on my '16 RX with the Michelins, at 40k km (~25k miles), the Michelins were at 4-5/32" depth; while my '18 RXh with the Bridgestones were also at 4-5/32" at the same mileage mark. But I'm up in BC where we don't get as much extended heat compared to Florida.

My 2019 has 11k on Bridgestones and look hardly used is S Fla.

Our RX came with Michelins which we replaced at just under 40K. Replaced them with Goodyear Maxlife Assurance which is imo a much better tire.

What tires did you replace them with?

I traded my '16 for the '18 RXh; so never got to replace those Michelins. The Bridgestones on my current car look like they might be good for another year, so I'll see what's available next year. Anything but the Ecopias, that's for sure.

I was pretty happy with the Michelins on the old car, but might lean towards an all-weather tire like the Goodyear Assurance this time.

I just bought a 2020RX350AWD with the 20 inch wheels. I'll burn off the OEM Bridgestone tires then get new ones. The OEM Michelins on my old 2017RX only lasted 18,000 miles in Pittsburgh, so I can't imagine these Bridgestones will be worse. Just looking ahead, I see that both Tire Rack and Discount Tire are recommending the Goodyear Assurance Weatherready tire as their top pick for this vehicle. Any thoughts?

I went with the Goodyear Assurance Maxlife and love them. Ride is smoother than the Michelins I replaced and I suspect tread life will be better.

Good to hear. I guess my post was sort of asking if Goodyear is a "premium-enough" tire for a Lexus. But I get it that it's about the specific Goodyear (or whatever) tire etc.
