The Lexus IS is a sporty compact sedan that’s been around since the late 90s; according to Lexus naming conventions, the IS200t is powered by a 2.0L 4-cyl that delivers 188 hp and 22 mpg city/32 mpg highway. For model year ‘16, the IS200t featured facelifted sheet metal, upgraded infotainment, an optional V6 engine, adaptive front lighting and a freshened-up interior. The Lexus IS200t is available with Base and F Sport trim levels.
When you shop 2016 Lexus IS200t tires, you’ll probably be happiest with premium all-season tires that offer a great balance of long wear, year-round traction, responsive handling, low noise and great ride quality. We’d suggest tires like the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 (with 45k mile warranty), Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus (50k mile warranty) and Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus (50k mile warranty). For more spirited driving and carving up the corners, there are summer and ultra-high-performance tires like the Pirelli P Zero, Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2. Just bear in mind that the softer, stickier tread formulation of summer and UHP tires enhances traction for cornering and braking, but will stiffen and lose grip in colder weather. Summer and UHP tires shouldn’t be used when temperatures are below about 45 degrees F.
