I just looked up these tires and best I can figure, they kind of suck. Really that was the best they could do on a FE? Looks like KO3's before the winter. A buddy of mine said he only got 1000 miles on his OEM Tundra tires before he had to get rid of them.

I’m sure they will fall short in comparison to a use-specific tire like the KO3. Really, OEM tires are like cruise ship food. If you cook it too spicy a few people will love it but everyone else will hate it. So OEM tires are usually a flavor of highway tire.
Surprisingly though, Lexus is using Toyo OpenRoad AT on the GX Overtrail. One of the things that bummed me out a bit when I committed to a LC instead of a GX. I’d bet that even the Overtrail takers on the Lexus side are less likely to actually offroad than any given Land Cruiser buyer.
My LC is coming with the 20s. I’m actually fine with that because my off-roading is pretty much trailhead roads. But the OEM tires on the 20s seem even more bland than the Michelin 18s.
