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!
Lexus GS parts reviews
I had numbers 1 and 2 on my 2016 GS 350. The Michelin’s were better by far.
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.
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.
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.
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
Former BMW dealer employees have confirmed that the overpriced BMW oil is literally castrol edge.
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.
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.
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...
