If you really want frustration, try finding snow chains for the 21 inch wheels.

Konig makes a lot of large chain sizes for Europe.

I am shopping for a winter tires + wheel set for my 350h. Any one knows the specs for 19" wheel? Will a set of 19" from 2015 RX fits?
Seems like there are not many choices for 235/60R19 winter tire. The only thing the local shop/dealer can order is Michelin X-Ice. It says it's suitable for EV. Does that mean the sidewall is much harder and if so how does that affect winter tires performance?

Thank you

Haven't investigated for 2023 RXs' specifically yet (sometimes the data for new models takes a while to show up)

But I have always had good luck with https://www.wheel-size.com/ to investigate wheel fitment.

Then, you should determine which tires are close to the same overall diameter and load rating with a site such as this:

Alternatively, you could just inquire on an online tire site, such as TireRack.com or DiscountTireDirect.com or SimpleTire.com
These sites also usually have areas where you can SEE how any wheel style they sell looks on your car.

One caution: I have found that many aftermarket wheels are more susceptible to corrosion from road salt, as the clear-coating on them isn't as substantial. YMMV!

Still no options here that I know of, and I'll need some by November, but I suspect they'll appear pretty soon...heat wave here (90s for four consecutive days, hot by our standards) so winter tires are not yet a major topic.

PCM Tire (Quebec?) sells the Ovation WV-688 - 235/60R19 for $185/tire. Winter tread.

Where is Ovation from?

BTW, Michelin has winter tires for RX350 & 350h in 19".

China - like most offbrands. https://ovationtirescanada.ca/ I've had Sailun tires from China and they are not half bad.

For me if someone is spending close to $100K on a Lexus why would they want to save few hundred dollars on THE MOST IMPORTANT safety component of a vehicle???

Eagleboy99

Maybe you or I would not do it, but those offbrand tires are not that bad. I've had more issues with B F Goodrich than I've ever had with Sailun.

As we get closer to winter I started looking for tires for my RX 500H. 235/50R21. Not many options. Anyone else looking?

Eagleboy99

Michelin Ice-X

I can only find it in a 20”. Does it come in a 21”?

That is what I have been eyeing also (although in 19"). Costco also has it as well as canadawheels.ca YMMV.
