Continental Tires

Dws06+ for sure. I use to be a Michelin guy and I switch to continental and I’d never go back now. Some of the best all round tires in my opinion. Only tire I run on my GS F!

Pros: best all round tires

Akebono Brake pads
EddieGS350
  • Braking:
  • Dust:
Rating 4.0

Use Akebono ceramic pads. They have like 5% less bite than the performance pads but last way long and produce wayyyyy less dust. In emergency situations the grip is limited by your tires, so that 5% performance loss isn't really worth anything for daily driving.

Pros: less dust, last long
Cons: 5% less bite

OEM Lexus Brake pads

I‘ve got a 2019 F Sport. Same color as yours. 105k miles. Still looks and drives amazing. Have had to replace nothing but filters, tires, rotors and brake pads.

Pros: looks amazing, drives amazing

Mileage: 105000 km

PENNZOIL Engine oil
EddieGS350
  • Engine noise:
Rating 5.0

Honestly, any brand should be okay as long as you change your oil every 5k miles. Personally I run Penz ultra plat. I never burn oil with it and my engine sounds quieter than it did w/ Mobil 1.

Pros: engine sounds quieter
Cons: never burn oil
Vehicle: Lexus GS
Mileage: 5000 km

MICHELIN Tires

They suck after a bunch of heat cycling sadly. I like the ECS02 on my F even in winter they are fine. I just don’t act up. Yes they won’t grip as well as they should be drive like a civilized person you’ll be ight

Pros: fine even in winter
Cons: suck after heat cycling

Akebono Brake pads

I did not like the Akebono ASPs at all. A distinct lack of bite even after break-in. Went back to stock and all was good.

Cons: lack of bite

Pirelli Tires

I'm getting tired of the tires on my GS. They're far from worn (10k miles, P7 A/S 3 Plus, pretty much still full tread), but are terrible in the rain. Up until recently, it was a sort of fun kind of terrible (easy oversteer, 4 wheel drifts, etc.), but yesterday was sketchy understeer at way too low of a speed. I didn't like that. I imagine emergency braking is equally awful. I don't want to find out.

Pros: good tread life
Cons: terrible in rain, sketchy understeer

Goodyear Tires

Lexus seems to have a really bad habit of putting bare minimum shit tires on their CPO vehicles. They put new $100/tire shit Goodyear LS2 tires on both my '13 and '15 GS...

Cons: shit tires, bare minimum
