Why is that so? Lexus do not make the tires.

Also, the Michelin LTX is for a SUV, not a sedan.

On my LS400 I have switched from the original Dunlops to Falken ZE512. The handling is much better than the OEM tyres in both wet and dry conditions. Ride is fine. They stop very well in both wet and dry. On rough surfaces however, they are very slightly noisier IMO. They were also considerably cheaper.
