LC300 ZAHARA ZX Stok tyres - Are they ok?

[Mark De Silva]

Hi everyone,

I have recently purchased a LC300 ZX and not convinced by the stock tyres (Bridgestone Dueler 265/55 R20) as they look too soft for a even gravel road. I understand this is a road based model, but have plans to venture off the tarmac and go on gravel roads. Not intending any serious off-road adventures though.

Has anyone changed their stock tyres? If so what are the tyres used? how is the quality of the tyres and ride, handling, performance change?

Interesting timing for your post because I had recently viewed this YouTube video. I then did some follow up on other car forums. One post suggested pre-selling the tyres then replace with the preferred tyres suitable for his driving requirements. Perhaps in the meantime, discuss your requirements with local tyre shops and get a few recommendations for use on dirt roads etc.
