But the biggest surprise is the mileage. Had them on for two years, been to the Alps and back three times in winter. Went to Italy and south of France in summer when the weather was at 36 degrees C. Longest lasting tyre I have had and I have been driving Lexus RX for 12 years.

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 RX400 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
But the biggest surprise is the mileage. Had them on for two years, been to the Alps and back three times in winter. Went to Italy and south of France in summer when the weather was at 36 degrees C. Longest lasting tyre I have had and I have been driving Lexus RX for 12 years.
I was drawn by good reviews (apart from wear, but the tyre was still relatively new at the time) -- especially about the grip on wet and reduced noise / low fuel consumption.
Yes, the wet grip is good -- but not worth it by itself (the whole tyre design is done around this point alone). Noise level OK, fuel consumption nothing to boast about (my winter Michelins had the same fuel consumption).
I was warned by the installer that the rubber is too soft, and that the tyre (regardless of the SUV sales-pitch) will wear-out quickly like an eraser on hot paverment under SUV weight... I have to say that the wear was obvious after just one summer of spirited highway driving!
While the tyre performed admirably, especially under several "torrential downpours", it wore down after just two summers (especially the front tyres).
As the sidewalls are somewhat soft, with wear, the SUV ride became a bit wobbly when turning, and I decided against putting another new set on this summer. I will not be bying these again.
I have just fitted my third pair since owning the car ( 5 years next May ) and as I purchased the most recent items only 3 days ago for £ 120.00 for 2 including delivery I am still a huge fan. My RX400h performance in the dry cannot overawe this rubber and in the wet they are more than capable with no dramas. My tyre fitter has also pointed out to me that he is surprised that a budget tyre balances so well with little weights !
For those interested I replace the fronts every 8,000 and put the ones I,m replacing on the rears. Wear rate is excellent considering the weight of the car etc.
