Best Tyres for the Lexus GS300

Excellent tires, made in Japan so the quality is top notch, handling and grip is very good, wet roads are average but these are summer tires so that's ok. have them since late 2024 and no problems at all, and will buy again. Lexus/Toyota are tuned to Dunlop tires as OEM supplier in many regions so expect good car-tire response.

I can say that I am impressed with the performance of the new Pirelli C3 tires. They are extremely quiet and comfortable. I had to drive over a road with sharp rocks for about 7 km and I thought I would damage them, but they didn't even have a scratch on the tread blocks! It remains to be seen how durable they will be!

Shockingly bad in the wet, especially aquaplaning which was surprising as they came up well in tests. I do have a RWD car though so I wonder if that's why? Honestly couldn't wait until they were worn and needed replacing as the front would slide out in wet weather and the rears would wheelspin even under mild acceleration. Do NOT recommend even though they're cheap, went back to Cross Climate 2's which were night and day better.

Bought these tires used (like ~5 mm tread depth remaining) just to drive them for one season and did not expect them to be that bad actually. The worst part of them is the noise (they are super noisy). Before I drove used winter studded tires (also Nokian) on the same car and it does not come even close to the level of noise of Hakka Black when you drive on a dry pavement. I understand that the tire I put is not new and is quite worn, but based on my experience (even from badly worn Chinese tires), this is not really acceptable. The second issue is the overall handling of the car - it becomes less predictable on highway speeds (not in terms of grip, but rather stability) and the ride quality does not feel good.

There was also one review here from the guy for the same tire, and even same tire size and car class - he shares similar thoughts. Therefore, I would not recommend to go for Hakka Black... in used condition definitely. I will change them asap.

FYI: I am driving in Sweden where road conditions are generally quite well maintained and the summer season in the area I live is more extended compared to the rest Sweden, though we have a considerable mix between wet and dry weather.

Tires were really good, lasting long, feels like high performance. When I bought my second hand car when 21 months before, this tyres were on the front wheels, but was not brand new, drives mostly through curvy roads as well as motorways, still going strong. Overall, I have to say, these tyres feels good in every ways. Satisfied.

I was looking to buy Michelin Pilot Alpin 5, and my size was not available. According to many test TS870 P ranks the same as Pilot Alpin 5. The tyres are very good. They feel like my summer Primacy 4. Wet braking excellent, dry grip is good, steering response is not the sharpest but for a winter tyre is good. Strongly recommended!!!

Great tires! Comfortable, quiet with very good traction in snow and ice. I can say that they are much better than the Bridgestone Turanza T001.

Bought a second hand car with these fitted all round. Seemed OK over the first few days but some bad weather showed up how poor the wet grip is. Motorway speeds in the rain and the front end seems very light. These tyres will be coming off at the first opportunity.

But these to replace some Nankang AS-2s and very pleased with the tyre so far. grips really well in wet or dry really gives the confidence to sling the car into corners would definitely recommend and also purchase again!
