April 2015 – Toyota announced that the 2016 Lexus RX will run on Michelin’sPremier LTX light truck/SUV tires. The RX is the best-selling model in the 26 year history of the brand, and recently debuted at the New York Auto Show.

The Premier LTX is Michelin’s truck/SUV version of the popular Premier A/S which is designed for coupes, sedans, minivans and crossovers. It has received numerous awards for its ground-breaking technology, including its EverGrip tread technology.

Two sizes will be used on the RX; 235/65R18 and 235/55R20. Michelin went on to say that the Premier LTX will be supplied on approximately half of all new RX’s built by Lexus.
