Hankook would be my choice. I had them on my IS200 when I had one, and was impressed by them in all aspects. They were also on my IS250 when I bought it.

They're arguably a premium brand tyre these days, despite being priced amongst the traditional mid-range brands like Toyo, Khumo, Falken etc.

My LS500h AWD  is now on it's second set of run flat tyres. All 4 changed  at 32000 miles and a direct replacement set of the original  Bridgestone's which were fitted at the factory.

I have Bridgestone Potenza Sport currently, very good tyres for grip and braking. I noticed immediate braking improvement and handling. The ride harsher when compared to previous Nexen N'Fera SU1 and even earlier Goodyear AS3 and Uniroyal RainSport3. If budget is a concern, I agree Nexen tyres are a good purchase.

Uniroyal Rainsport 5 on an IS300H drove through huge puddles on the motorway without any hesitation set off x4 keeps the car planted in the rain. Giving confidence levels that make it feel like is this for real it should be dangerous, I wont quote the speed. Highly recommend them if you reside North of the UK like me where we see a lot of rain.

Very general comment (non Lexus) experiences

Bridgstone - harsh feel

Sailun Attrezzo - long mileage, high rated tyrewear

Avon - OK feel, low tyrewear rating

Continental -older model nothing special (70mph blow out did not impress)

Hankook - good compromise high mid range tyre.

I like Pirelli.

Wonder if changing to regular tyres rather than run flats is a good idea on an LC500 V8?

My time with inherited Pirelli tyres on my 2006 Honda Legend …….. incredibly hard wearing BUT oh so glad when they wore out and I could change them ……. so so harsh and uncomfortable a ride ….. glad they went

I bought Falkens …… as good experience for years  on my 95 Ls400 👍
