Best Lexus GX 460 Tires

Lexus is known for fantastic luxury, but not so much for incredible off-road performance. In the GX you get both.

If you’re in need of the best Lexus GX 460 tires we’ve put together a detailed list of our top picks, for on-road, off-road, winter and more. Taking into account performance, ride quality and noise, tire life and price, see the full list of our selections below.

What Tires Come on the Lexus GX460?

Expect roughly 50,000 miles on a set of factory-equipped Lexus GX460 tire. Neither the Dunlop nor the Bridgestone options come with any mileage guarantee from the factory, although the Michelin comes with either a 55,000 mile warranty (H- and V-rated tires) or a 45,000 mile warranty (W-, Y-, and Z-rated tires).

Best Lexus GX 460 Tires

Our top choice for the GX460 is what Lexus equips many versions of the SUV with from the factory, the Michelin Latitude Tour. This tire is significantly more expensive than the others on this list, but it combines extremely high levels of comfort and refinement with driving dynamics.

As an alternative, the Michelin Defender LTX MS isn’t quite as engaging to drive. Where it impresses is in cold and even light snow conditions. They won’t perform like snow tires, but they are significantly better than other all-seasons, especially when it comes to braking capability.

For those looking for more miles on a set of tires, the Bridgestone Dueler HL Alenza Plus offers an 80,000 mile warranty and performs well in terms of driving dynamics, although its best feature (other than the warranty) is its calm and planted highway ride. Of note, Discount Tire offers a version of this tire called the Dueler LTH with a lower warranty, lower price and slightly less planted feel.

While on the bottom of this list, two tires that offer perhaps the best combination of all features are from Continental and Pirelli. The Continental Cross Contact LX 25 is custom made for utility vehicles and offers an impressive combination of all-weather capability, handling, with a 70,000 mile warranty and a price that’s 10-15% less than the other tires above. While the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus III has similar attributes with a slightly lower tread life and slightly better handling at a similar price point.

Best Highway Terrain Tire for Lexus GX 460

Our top pick for a solid luxury SUV tire that has some light off-road capability, the Terrain Contact HT offers a civilized highway ride and an impressive 70,000 mile warranty as well.

Best All-Terrain Tire for Lexus GX 460

As the GX460 is truly off-road capable if you intend to use it that way you’ll want proper tires for the job. The Coopers below are the most civilize of the bunch and are surprisingly capable, even though they don’t look all that different from conventional all-seasons. They don’t cost a fortune, they come with a 65,000 mile warranty and are even certified for true winer use.

The Continental Terrain Contact AT has a slighter lower warranty of 60,000 miles but slightly more off road grip, for a higher price point. then the Toyo Open Country AT III takes the grip up another notch, and the pricing too. Like the Coopers it’s also a capable winter option. Finally there’s the BFGs, which are the undeniable off-road champ, both in terms of grip and durability. They cost a premium and their on-road driving dynamics and civilize are somewhat lacking.

A surprisingly premium tire, it lacks some of the grip of tier-one offerings but it is both smooth-riding and impressively quiet. It also comes with an impressive 60,000 mile tread life warranty. Overall, amazing value.
