First time LX owner….WOW

So after about 17k miles the stock tires were shot and loud. Went up one size to a 275/70R/18 and the size is perfect. I went with some Nitto Recon Grappler. I know why Lexus didn’t go with this tire though. The ride quality isn’t as “plush” as the stock 265/70R/18, however it’s a LT tire and it’s still good. I was very happy with the Nitto Ridge Grappler I ran on my old 4runner, but I wanted to try these tires out. I need to grab some wheel spacers to push the setup out a little bit and it will look a lot better.
Pics of the difference from the same angle. I am in N in the top pic, but in L for the bottom pic with the new tires.

Those upgraded tires look way better, looking good!!!!
 
You haven't wasted any time putting miles on your LX! Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the new tires.
 
I had my name on a GX550, but the list was a long wait and after being in a few Facebook groups and watching some youtube videos I decided to go the LX route!
Very smart
