2023 UX F Sport
Replaced original runflat's for A/S Contact2 XL
Better in the wet and cold climate including snow. Not the quietest tyre though better than runflats in dealing with bumps and very noisy road surfaces.
Being XL they have improved the ability to deal with uneven road surfaces and jaring bumps and not destroyed the sporty ish ability of the car. Having adaptive suspension is great and the conti 2 xl works well.
Next time, I will look for an A/Season tyre with less noise if I can find some, as although improved, no way near perfect though this may be the cost of A/S tyres against the best summer tyre.

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 UX drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
These tyres came as stock tyres on my Lexus 2023 UX250h.
As they are RF model they were wearing very slowly but I hated the road noise since I drive mostly on motorway 90% For the performance they are good but heavy… once I was fed up with them even after 40000miles /60000km the treads were not showing any aging. I’m a commuter on Irish motorway so basically not much of an action for tyres. If you want longevity I can recommend them if you want comfort forget them and look something else.
I've found the Michelin primacy 3 to be surprisingly good. They came newly fitted to a used Lexus UX 300e EV that I've been driving as my main car for 2 years in Scotland.
Having heard about how quickly EVs rip through tyres I wasn't expecting them to last as long as they have, although the Lexus isn't the most powerful out there, it's got enough torque to spin it's tyres in normal and sport mode, I've been 'enjoying' the car but these still have a little life in them.
In the dry they grip very well, obviously the Lexus isn't a sporty car but these tyres hang on very well before finally letting go in a highly controlled and predictable manner. There is very little feedback, although it's hard to know if this is the car or the tyres specifically.
Wet grip is also good. Not great, but predictable. Again, easy to spin a wheel in the wet, but generally the tyres cope well enough, and they're never less than very confidence inspiring. I also have to note that they're particularly impressive at clearing water at motorway speeds, no evidence of hydroplaning, they'll go through puddles and standing water at reasonable speeds like they're on rails, no tugging at the wheel whatsoever.
Comfort wise they're very good, these are 50 section on the larger 18 inch alloys but I have no complaints, these soak up exposed covers, most road surfaces and don't transmit it to the cabin.
With regards to noise they're disappointing. These are the only tyres I've had on the car and being an otherwise very quiet car it may be that the tyre roar sounds louder than it really is, but even at low speeds the roar is disappointingly loud.
What's impressed me the most is how consistent they've been from new to 20k/2yrs old, they drive pretty much exactly as they did when new, which is surprising but very welcome.
If they weren't so noisy I'd have them again, and I'd certainly price shop them on my ice cars when the time comes. Not the most dynamic tyre out there but very solid all rounder. Impressive.
I am going for All season XL tyres.
