How long are snow tires good for?
While there’s no set “life expectancy” for snow tires, many tire manufacturers estimate that you should get four seasons of wear from a set of winter tires.
What temperature is not good for winter tires?
Heat is really hard on winter tires, which are meant to be used when temperatures are ~45°F or below. Winter tires that are run on hot pavement tend to wear out much faster. Winter tires are designed for traction, not longevity, whereas all-season tires are designed for lower rolling resistance and longer tread life.
Can a Lexus RX350 work in the snow?
The rx330/rx350 works very well in the snow. Ive never had a problem! “More rubber on the ground = improved traction and braking” Not in the snow it doesn’t. I have a 2001 and with all season tires it does very well in the snow. For added security I bought a set of snow tires and wheels from Tire Rack. With those on it is unbelievable!
What kind of tires should I get for my Lexus RX350?
Read the specs on the tires from Michelin and pick one with a 400+ treadwear. A 200 treadwear will last 20-40k where a 400-600 treadwear will go 60-80k, but you have ensure maintenance of tire pressure and keep the alignment in spec if you hit a pothole or curb to get the high milage.
What kind of FWD does a Lexus RX300 have?
My 2001 AWD RX300, like the RX350, has a VC, Viscous Clutch/coupling, mounted, effectively, across the two output shafts of the center diff’l. Absent the VC and its ability to “tighten” the coupling between the center diff’l you really only have FWD for “handling” adverse roadbed conditions.

Which is the best tire for MY 2008 RX350?
My specified tires are 235/55-18. The Primacy MXV4 is only offered in 235/60-18 which is the specified size for 2010 and up RX350’s. Would this tire be best for my 2008 or is there a different “quiet” tire you would recommend in the 55 size over the Primacy in the 60 size. My wheels are 18×7.0 versus 18x 7.5 on the newer models. Thanks, Barry

Is there a tire pressure sensor on a Lexus RX350?
The tire pressure monitor sensor (TPMS) light had been illuminated for a while on my 2008 Lexus RX350 even though all my tires, including spare, were at or higher than the recommended PSI. I scoured the web for a solution, but it took me a long time to sift through the many forum posts and actually find one.
