First thing to touch the road, good to get the best you can for your driving conditions and mileage.
But dang they are getting expensive!

I knew when I saw those handsome 21" wheels there was going to be a penalty to pay, but the "looks" are well worth it to me!

Maybe this thread should be merged into the longer "Winter tire options" thread.

I see them at Sam's club too, but the strange thing is that their "fitment check" says that the 235/50R21 doesn't fit the '23 RX500h.
My Brother-in-Law is a manager of a tire store, and scolded me once, for fitting improper tires of a lower weight rating on our previous SUV.

Load capacity (due to the 4800-lb weight of the RX) might be a factor in that size's availability. Sidewall of our OEM Alenza's says 1819 lbs max at 51 PSI.

I'm leaning towards 19" snow tires and rims from TR; price for everything including mount/balance and delivery is within a few hundred dollars of that, including installed TPMS sensors. After fooling with having winter tires mounted on OEM rims for numerous years, I finally got dedicated winter tire/rim sets a few years back and just started putting them on myself when we get snowy weather. The winter weather here in Virginia has been erratic over the last few years, and I can't stand wearing out my Blizzaks on those frequent 60+ degree days we get between November and March nowadays.

Hey Jax, where are you in VA? I live in Moseley (central VA Chesterfield county). We had no snow that stuck to the roads last year. Just some on the grass. I had a set of Blizzak's for my LS when I was in northern NJ but in VA I don't think its worth a whole other set of rims and tires esp with AWD. If its that bad out I'll just stay home lol.

I have a set of 18" wheels with Michelin X Ice with OEM temps. These were from my 22/RX, What would I need to mount these on my new 24/RX, and where can I get them. Getting ready for our Canadian winter.
