Hi LOC Members, I need your help as well. Is it OK to fit Passenger tyres on the RX350? I never take it off road. It is on 17", the manual says 225/60R17 99V. Now I cannot find 4x4 tyre of this size but I've found Pirelli P7 Cinturato, which have good reviews, but they are passenger car tyres. On the other hand I've found Dunlops SP Sport 270, they are 4x4 tyres, not so good reviews, but my main concern is that they are H rated. So two questions here: 1. Can I fit a passanger car tyre if it matches all parameters? 2. I lower speed rating going to affect anything (i.e. insurance) Any help, advice would be very much appreciated. Kind regards, Seb.

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me, I am looking to get teh Dunlops back on the car as previous owner fitted something else. Despite the price, are they any good ? Regards, Seb

Hi Steve, I know that on 17" rims they came with 225/60R17 Dunlop SP Sport 270. I am considering this tyre but reviews aren't favouring it. Although it seams to be quiet the wear on it is excesive and it isn't good in the wet either. My car when I bought it, second hand, had two sets installed 235/60 Nexian CP671 (front) and Kumho 789 plus (rear and spare suggesting this was it's original setup). Nexian is very camber sensitive and I am not sure about their quality. Kumho looks better, wear wise, even dough it is an older tyre. Although I originally wrote that I do not mind brand, I would rather have something known and more popular than go with unknown, at least to me, brand. Any views, opinions, anyone ? Thanks again,

Hello everyone, I need an advice on tyres. I have a 2008 RX 350 and I need a new set of tyres. Unusually car is on 17" wheel currently fitted with 235/60R17 102H tyres. I've been looking around for a good tyres that are quiet and handle good in dry and wet weather. I wouldn't mind downsizing to 225/60R17 99V/H as this is what this car should have had. I do not mind the cost or brand. I've checked all tyre review sites etc but opinions about the same tyre can vary from excellent to poor hence I cannot take it as a good source of advise. I would like to know what's your experience with similar, not necessary the same, tyres and can you recommend one or two tyre models. Please help! Thank you very much in advance.
