Nx 450 + Run flat tyres 235/50 R20 100V

[Andy Thompson]

These tyres are only made by Bridgestone and are NOT available at the moment in the UK  Has anyone else had this trouble I have had then on order for 2 months at a large tyre company   The tread is getting very low just over the legal limit   No one is able to suggest a solution without changing to standard tyres which will  mean changing the wheels as well.

Hi Andy, 

I might be telling you something you already know/have done, so my apologies if this is the case!

One or two of us on here have had success getting the tyres changed from our local Lexus dealer. Might not be the cheapest but they've had them in stock when needed.

Hi Andy, curious as to why you have to change the wheels if you change from rft's to non rft's?

I had 4 of these replaced last month by Lexus Hedge End in Hampshire. I think Bridgestone must have sent fresh supplies to Europe. Best to ring round dealers and the the companies.

If going to Michelin CC2’s there is no need to change the rims as far as I am concerned - that was my plan B as my fronts were down to 3mm after 30k miles but I am pleased to be back on RFT’s.

PS the new tyres have 8mm tread and the ride is much smoother and quieter😬

30k miles from tyres is fine 😃

Most of those miles are Motorway and Dual carriageway. Otherwise they may have worn down much quicker.
