Lexus CT200h Tyre Review Highlights

Bought for a brand new lexus ct200h. I was happy with the tires but after three years I see damage of the thread, not a typical wear but cracking. Did

Writing about the Bridgestone Turanza T005 given 80% (215-60-16-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 40000 spirited miles
These tires are great. Went a couple of sizes bigger to combat road noise. Ideally wanted 205/60r16 but they were out of stock. Going larger does have its drawback, mainly on road feedback during cornering, but the lift made it easier to clear bumps and humps. Ultimately, noise was significantly reduced (though i cant remember what was my previous sets). These tires were great in dry,wet, noise. Once you pass about half way mark, the noise started to come in and at 1/4 left (which is about where im at at the moment and am ready for a new set), wet handling and aqua planning distance starts to deteriorate. I feel that they personally wear out relatively fast, and are somewhat pricey. Will try out some goodyear efficient performance next, heard some good stuff and they are slightly cheaper.

Driving on a combination of roads for 20000 average miles
Great when new - quiet, comfortable, handle well in wet &dry, good in snow, good on fuel. After three winters (15 months of use, and 21 months of storage) they lose their suppleness, comfort and grip. Plenty of tread left. Perhaps better to run all year round rather than swapping winter/summer every year, then at least you’ll get your money’s worth. Can’t see myself running them for one more winter season as they’ve lost their sparkle.

Writing about the Michelin Primacy 4 given 70% (215-50-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 30 average miles
Heavy/rubbery steering feel. Noisy on certain road surfaces. Not the most comfortable tyre. Excellent dry and wet grip. I do many miles per year, so I can’t recommend them purely due to NVH and steering feel. Obviously this depends on your vehicle - some tyres don’t suit particular vehicles.

Writing about the Yokohama E70D db given 60% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 average miles
OEM Tyres on the Lexus CT200h are Yokohama E70 Decibel. They are very noisy at motorway speeds, and UK rough road surfaces at low-ish speeds transmit unacceptable vibrations into the cabin. My winter set of 16” Goodyear Vector 4 seasons G3 are an improvement, but I don’t want to run those all year round. Tried 17” Michelin Primacy 4 - very heavy/sluggish steering feel, slight NVH improvement (but not as good as my winter set). Finally, got my set of Sport Contact 6 - comfier than the rest of these tyres (as well as my 16” winters). Much quieter than OEM (which suits the CT200h very well). Not as sharp to turn in as the Yokos but actually, they suit the car very well - this is, after all, a small ‘luxury’ hybrid not a hot hatch. Why on earth did they fit these tyres to the car as OEM. Hardly a luxury tyre.

Finally nailed the right set of tyres.

Writing about the Dunlop SportMaxx RT 2 given 84% (225-45-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 4500 easy going miles
Fitted these tyres to my Lexus and I only have positive things to say about them. Firstly dry grip is great and same for wet grip. I avoid standing water so can’t comment on aquaplaining. I’ve had no issues with breaking distances in dry or the wet. I do drive sensibly and not someone who pushes the car over 75mph or at speed around corners. You may describe me as a Sunday driver. Comfort of the tyres and driving experience is better than my previous tyres which were Hankooks, I get many many miles out of my tyres due to my way of driving but can’t say what I’ll get out of these yet, only covered 4500 miles on them so far and there still like new. My Hankooks on the front covered 17000 miles and rear the same, but they were not worn out when I changed to the Dunlop’s. They were about half way worn. People say change tyres in pairs and that is good advice but I change all 4. It’s something I’ve always done. If one tyre goes they all go... so overall I like the Dunlop’s and can’t think of any reason why I wouldn’t buy them again.

Driving on mostly motorways for 31000 easy going miles
They have a lot of road noise and the got bald very quickly despite it being a hybrid. I always drive very carefully with low acceleration so expected better milage. I got 31,000 miles out of them.

Writing about the Nexen N Fera SU1 given 66% (215-45-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 1000 average miles
These are not a good tyre for the Lexus CT200h.

The 91W load rating makes the tyre extremely stiff for this car. The tyre shop said they’d be fine but I wish I’d trusted my instincts and bought a tyre with the 87W load rating.

Added to that, the 72 decibel rating makes this a noisy tyre on this car.

In cold January weather they are capable and up to the job but, all in all, not the right choice for me.

Writing about the Michelin Primacy 3 given 80% (205-45-17-)
Driving on mostly motorways for 7000 average miles
When buying my Lexus CT 200h the front was already fitted with Michelin Primacy 3 tyres and the rear with Yokohama (can't remember which model). When the rears needed replacement, I opted for the Michelin's again, both because I like to have 4 identical tyres all around, but also because I had a very good experience with the Michelin Energy Saver on my previous car. I'm not disappointed so far, very good handling and grip in the dry, combined with a good feedback while being slightly on the comfortable side for 17 inch tyres with 45 height. Only thing I need to check is how life is going to be in the long run.

Writing about the Michelin CrossClimate given 75% (205-55-16-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3000 average miles
I fitted CrossClimate tyres to my Lexus CT200H 3000 miles ago. I keep a track off all expenses with an app called Road Trip. I do find these tyres much quieter and smoother to run but fuel consumption is much worse. With the mixed bag of budget tyres that came with the car I returned 52mpg over 5000 miles. With my Bridgestone DriveGuard Winter tyres I also retuned 52mpg over 4500 miles but with the CrossClimate tyres I have only managed to average 46mpg over the 3000 miles so far. I bought them thinking I would probably just run one set of tyres all year but with the reduction in fuel consumption to that extent I won't buy them again and will continue to run separate summer and writer tyres. An 11.5% increase in fuel costs is to much to bare.
I feel just as confident in the wet and dry with these tyres as I did with the previous ones. I sorry but I''m not a tyre reviewer and this is about as technical as I can be
I haven’t had them long enough to comment on winter performance and as I still have my Bridgestone DriveGuard Winter tyres and wheels, I’ve change them over today. The CrossClimates will go back on in the Spring so unless we get late snow it will be a while before I can comment on that aspect of the Tyre.
