I have these tires on my rear-wheel-drive Lexus GS. I'm pleased with the traction in winter conditions. I previously had Yokohama winter tires and didn't notice much difference. The only downside is increased road noise. I recommend these tires and would definitely buy them again.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Lexus GS drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Complete set installed in April 2024. For now, they feel much quieter and more comfortable than the dunlop sp050. We see how it behaves over time.
Taken set in the fall of 2022. It behaves very well. Comfortable and silent up to highway speeds.
It’s a good tire just not for me it has a short life only got about 25k out of them was told. 45k Uniroyal makes a better tire and has 65k warranty also tire had a lot of road noise and California freeways eat this soft rubber up quick
These are halfway decent at high speed, sadly better than my 15 year old Goodyear Eagles which understeer horribly on slick roads with spirited driving
Bought the PowerProof as soon as they were released. Since they were replaced by the Nokian ZLine i thought i'd give them a shot. Excellent handling, breaking in the wet. All 4 Tyres had 2mm left after 25,000km. Overall an excellent tyre, especially in the rain, it's like you're driving in the dry weather.
Extremely comfortable Tyre for my Lexus, builds up speed quickly and seems to be wearing good. its not a tyre if you're looking to go track days but performance and soaks up the roads irregularities well and does not disappoint when you put your foot down.
I switch from Dunlop Sport Max 050 which come from my Lexus GS 200t when I brought my car one year ago. The Dunlop one after 10,000km become slippy when wet and noisy, just right after the switching, thr passengers also noticed the breaking distance is much less, at least 2m shorter than Dunlop, also the handling and grip are excellent, the car now stick to the road which provide confidence and I can drive faster with low noise. I like this tyre very much.
These tyres represent a considerable improvement upon the factory fitted Bridgestone turanza's.
Comfort, grip and confidence is so assured with the vreds they transform the entire driving experience and imho show the vehicle off to its optimal performance and enjoyment.

Fantastic tyre and beats the Michelin and Pirelli p zeros that were on my Lexus gs250. Comfort and ride are awesome. Cheaper if you look around too!
