What size tyres are on a Lexus IS200T?

The Lexus IS200T, a compact luxury sedan, comes equipped with 225/45R17 tyres as standard. This tyre size provides a balance of performance, comfort, and fuel efficiency for the IS200T's driving dynamics.


Tyre Specifications for the Lexus IS200T


The Lexus IS200T, part of the Lexus IS series, is designed with the following tyre specifications:



  • Tyre Size: 225/45R17

  • Tyre Width: 225 millimeters

  • Aspect Ratio: 45 (the ratio of the sidewall height to the tread width)

  • Rim Diameter: 17 inches


This tyre size is a common choice for compact luxury sedans, as it provides a good balance between performance, comfort, and fuel efficiency. The 225/45R17 tyres offer responsive handling, adequate grip, and a smooth ride quality, making them well-suited for the Lexus IS200T's intended use.


Factors Influencing Tyre Selection


The tyre size selection for the Lexus IS200T is influenced by several factors, including the vehicle's weight, power output, and intended use. Luxury sedans like the IS200T typically prioritize a balance of performance, comfort, and efficiency, which the 225/45R17 tyre size helps to achieve.


Larger tyre sizes, such as 18-inch or 19-inch wheels, may also be available as optional upgrades for the Lexus IS200T, catering to customers who prioritize a sportier, more aggressive appearance and handling characteristics. However, the standard 225/45R17 tyres provide a well-rounded package that meets the needs of most Lexus IS200T owners.

Is the Lexus 200t fast?


The IS200t is not considered "fast," but it is quick for its class and has plenty of power for passing, thanks to a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing 241 horsepower. However, it can feel slow off the line due to a noticeable turbo lag and throttle delay, making it a sporty and comfortable daily driver rather than a true performance car, with a 0-60 mph time around 7 seconds.
 

  • Engine: 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four producing 241 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. 
  • 0-60 mph: Approximately 7 seconds. 
  • Performance: It feels quick once the turbo is spooled up, making it good for passing, but it has a noticeable delay from a stop. 
  • Intended purpose: A reliable and comfortable sports sedan that is fun to drive, but not a high-performance car. 



What size tyres can you fit on a 200 series?


The GX/GXL 200 series is shod with 285/65R17 tyres (The VX and Sahara wear 285/60R18), giving an overall diameter of around 802mm (31.5") for all models. To improve clearance and offroad ability, I've gone for a slightly larger tyre, the 285/70R17 with an overall diameter of 838mm.



What size tires are on the IS 200t?
