Lexus RX450h tyres Falken or Yokohama

[matinzk]

Hi everyone,



We've got a Lexus Rx450h F sport. Had it for two years now and it's got the Bridgestone Dueler tyres (235/55 20). They need changing now. Been reading this forum and various others and it seems people rate the Falken tyres alot. Also have my eyes on the Yokohama Geolandar.

Looks like Falken Azenis FK520 has better wet and fuel economy ratings in comparison with the Yokohama Geolandar. On BlackCircles they're pretty much the same price, however a local tyre place is doing them for £160 fitted (with a black Friday code). They can do Geolanders for around £185 fitted.

Question is are those two good choices? Any other choices within the same price bracket?

Any recommendations would be highly appreciated.

How much off-road do you do? If none then I would suggest a good 4-season tyre would suit best, Goodyear and Michelin are well-rated.

If you need off-road then an All-Terrain is probably the way to go.

Thank you. No off roading. Town and motorway driving only.

Had Falken summers on the Forester until earlier in the year.
Excellent grip in wet and dry, can't comment on cold weather use because winters used in season.
Came with around 7mm new tread, didn't last long and became increasingly noisy and hard riding as they wore, in comparison the Vredesteain Quatracs now fitted are soft riding and quiet.

Geolandar GO15 all season AT's on the Prado, probably the best all round AT tyre i've had so far, quiet good in the wet and excellent in cold/snow, soft compound tread and i find upping the pressures by 5psi helps in summer heat, been on around 7 years now and will replace with same when the time comes.

Thank you.

Between Yokohama Geolandar cv g058 and Yokohama bluearth-xt ae61 which would you choose?

The bluearth on our nx300h at 3 years old were cracking in the treads , bad enough to be mentioned on the mot .

Thank you.

I'm going to go with the Geolanders. Another local tyre place (different to the one originally mentioned) has them at about £150 per tyre fully fitted.

You are aware the Geolander is a full-blown All-Terrain tyre, not a 'normal' 4-season tyre? Your response to my query as to your requirements ruled out the need for All-Terrain tyres.

[matinzk]

I thought the Geolander A/T and M/T are full blown all terrain tyres. A d nit the CV? That's what I've seen on their website. Could you please confirm this? Thank you.

I have only come across the AT versions, if there are normal ones as well they should be fine.
