Hi guys,

I've been told by my Lexus dealer,that the front tyres of my IS250X are not the same as the tyres on the rear?

Any reason ?

Please be kind,I'm a IS250 X newbie(Came from a RX330)

18's on the IS are staggered - 225/40/18 fronts, 255/40/18 rears - just have a look at your tyres, they'll have the specs on them.

Reason: Greater contact area with the ground at the rear, and less at the front, reduces oversteering or, perhaps, induce a little bit of understeer. I understand that a slight understeer is preferred in performance driving. The larger rear wheels can also improve stability in crosswinds - one of the main disadvantages of RWDs.

IMO staggered looks bad a$$

if u have the right drop, IS250's look like they have a widebody kit on em
