At SimpleTire, we’ve compiled the best Lexus NX200T tires using SimpleScore, including all-season, all-weather and winter tire options, as well as Great and Good tire choices. Without further delay, let’s just get to it:
1. Bridgestone WeatherPeak - Best All-Weather Tire
Next up, we have the Bridgestone Weatherpeak, another strong contender. The WeatherPeak is an all-weather tire that is Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rated for severe winter service, and tests show stopping distances that are 30 feet shorter than the competition in winter weather. Bridgestone put extra attention into the design of the sipes on the Weatherpeak (sipes are hair-thin slits in the tread that enhance traction with thousands of biting edges). The Weatherpeak’s full-depth 3D sipes actually retain their effectiveness as the tread wears down, and its “snow vices” retain snow and use it for friction and snow-on-snow contact. Put all that together and it's enough for a SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction. Those tread features and the tread compound all work together for excellent road manners, steering response and cornering ability, for a SimpleScore of 9.5 for handling. We also gave this tire a SimpleScore of 9.8 for longevity, as Bridgestone covers the Weatherpeak with a 70,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, which is pretty hard to beat.
2. Goodyear Winter Command - Best Winter Tire
Our pick for best winter tire for your Lexus NX200Tis the Winter Command from Goodyear, a tire that can chew through the snow, slush. and muck of winter driving when an all-season tire is likely to leave you high and not-so-dry somewhere. Goodyear designed the Winter Command with a combination of 3D zigzag sipes and a directional tread pattern with sweeping lateral grooves and wide longitudinal grooves. The Winter Command is pre-drilled for easy installation of studs, in case you need to get through icy road conditions, and is certified with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating for severe winter service. In light of all that, we give the Goodyear Winter Command an outstanding 9.9 SimpleScore for traction. Braking, cornering, and steering response are all top-notch thanks to a stiffer shoulder and solid center rib – we give this tire a 9.0 SimpleScore for handling. Wear properties are a strong point too, for a SimpleScore of 9.5 for longevity. Just remember that any winter tire uses a softer, stickier tread compound that will wear prematurely in warmer weather. Manufacturers advise against using any winter tire when temperatures are above 45 degrees F.

3. General Altimax RT45 - Great All-Season Tire
Now we come to the Altimax RT45 from General Tire. Don’t dismiss the General Altimax RT45 for its lower price point, this tire presents a great value. It’s equally confident in all kinds of weather conditions, with a proven all-season tread design, and General Tire backs the Altimax RT45 with either a 65,000 or 75,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty (depending on tire size). That’s why we did the math and gave the Altimax RT45 a SimpleScore of an outstanding 9.9 for longevity. You can count on the Altimax RT45 to deliver year-round traction, a forgiving ride, low noise, and predictable, consistent handling and braking performance (SimpleScore for traction: 9.0). With a network of sipes and lateral grooves and a solid center rib that boosts road manners and steering response, we give the Altimax RT45 a SimpleScore of 8.7 for handling. Another innovation is the visual alignment indicators that alert a driver to wheel alignment that’s out of spec, and the words “Replace Tire” molded into the tread to display when tread depth reaches a minimum of 2/32”. Select sizes of the Altimax RT45 are available with a great-looking outlined white letter sidewall.
4. Toyo Extensa A/S II - Good All-Season Tire
We’re rounding out this list with the Extensa A/S II from Toyo, one that we’ve always thought to be a great value in an all-season tire. Toyo employs a silica-rich tread compound that’s designed for long wear and improved wet-weather traction, molded into an all-season tread compound with a system of circumferential grooves, lateral and angled grooves, and 3D sipes for year-round grip. We figured that was enough to give the Toyo Extensa A/S II a SimpleScore of 8.7 for traction. Longevity is another strength with this tire, thanks to the long-wearing tread compound and robust internal construction consisting of a polyester casing, two steel belts and a spiral-wound nylon cap layer. Toyo designed the Extensa A/S II with a symmetric tread, an added convenience that makes it easy to cross-rotate tires for longer life, and backs this tire with a 75,000 mile manufacturer’s treadwear warranty. In light of all that, we give the Extensa A/S II a SimpleScore of 9.6 for longevity. That symmetric tread pattern and the Extensa A/S II’s shoulder design mean more rubber in contact with the road, for a SimpleScore of a solid 8.4 for handling.
