Can I use high profile tyres on is,250?

Hi Eric. Why do you want to put high profile tyres on your is250? They will upset the handling of the car. Stick with the standard size.

My IS came with 18” wheels and low profile tyres.  But it was also available with 17” wheels and higher profile tyres - which I might have preferred.  They would have given it a more comfortable ride, due to the greater flexion of the outside wall, and reduced the chance of kerbing the alloys!

I think your age of IS250 might have been supplied with a choice of 16” or 17” alloys with the larger wheel having the low profile tyre.

So if you want a higher profile tyre for comfort reasons, then you’ll have to match it with the smaller size alloy in order to keep the rolling radius of the wheel the same - otherwise the speed and mileage will be incorrect.

High profile tires typically have a larger sidewall ratio than the stock tires on your IS 250. This means they might not fit properly on your current wheels, potentially rubbing against the fender or suspension components
