Winter vs. Summer vs. All-Season Tires in Towson, MD
When the seasons shift from one to the next, your tires will likely need to follow suit. That way, you can continue to have stellar handling no matter the environmental conditions in Towson. Get in touch with our Service Department at Lexus of Towson to learn more about our seasonal tires!
Winter
The wintertime often brings many of the biggest threats to your handling, coming in the form of ice and snow on the road. Many tires are not able to effectively grip these surfaces, often resulting in danger for motorists. To amend this, we’d like to recommend that you take a look at winter tires. These are sets that have been given a greater number of slots and sipes, along with deep tread depths. You will also find that their structure is more rigid, allowing them to better conform to these colder conditions. As a result, you have a set of tires designed to dig into soft materials like ice, all while not losing its shape as it does so. But beware of using them in the summer, since their surfaces will quickly deteriorate.
Summer
Does the weather look just right for a day out at Meadowood Regional Park? Then you’ll know summer has arrived in full force, and you may want to consider scheduling a service appointment for your NX, RX, or IS. This is because these increased precipitation and harsh dry roads can prove to be a hassle for your vehicle’s tires. Summer tires work to remediate this, as they have been crafted with overall flatter surfaces to bring forth higher traction. And since air expands whenever exposed to heat, they are more elastic so that their integrity does not become compromised on your next I-695 drive. Do not use these in the winter though, since they will provide little to no grip in these times.
All-Season
Do you want to avoid having to regularly switch your set of tires? In that case, you may benefit from looking at a set of seasonal variants. This is because they employ the strategies of both their season-specific counterparts, allowing them to provide a satisfactory level of service at all times of year. However, you may find that they are less effective in particularly harsh conditions. In these cases, you will want to switch to winter or summer tires depending on the time of year. Consider visiting us for a set, but make sure to take a look at our service specials beforehand!

“ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My wife and I recently purchased a Lexus from Lexus of Towson, and I wanted to recognize Jonathan for the outstanding job he did throughout the entire process. When we first started the process, we ordered the vehicle and had to wait nearly three months for it to arrive. Once Jonathan became involved, everything changed. He kept us updated every step of the way, from when the vehicle hit the port until it arrived at the dealership. I never had to wonder what was going on because he communicated with us consistently and proactively. When the vehicle arrived, Jonathan made the entire delivery process seamless. He had the vehicle detailed, ready to go, and went above and beyond to accommodate our schedule. He even stayed late one evening to make sure we could complete the purchase. While we were there, he made sure we were comfortable, offered us coffee and water, and treated us like valued customers rather than just another sale. In today's world, it's hard to find people who genuinely care about customer service, but Jonathan is one of them. He is professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and simply a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a Lexus to ask for Jonathan directly. A special thank you as well to Joe Benson for helping connect us with Jonathan and making sure we were taken care of. Jonathan is the man, and because of the experience he provided, I would absolutely return to Lexus of Towson for future purchases. — Dennis Diem ”

“ I had a wonderful experience working with Nat at Lexus of Towson. I wasn't sure which vehicle I wanted, and Nat was incredibly patient, kind, and helpful throughout the entire process. We actually recognized each other from another dealership, and it was great to see him again. Once I realized it was Nat, I knew I wanted him as my salesman. He went above and beyond by personally bringing my new Lexus NX 350 to my home, making the experience even more convenient and special. Since my purchase, he has called several times to check in and make sure everything is going well, which shows how much he genuinely cares about his customers. If you're looking to buy a Lexus, I strongly encourage you to ask for Nat at Lexus of Towson. You will not regret it! ”

“ I would recommend you and your service team for all and any questions you may have regarding your Lexus ”
“ We had a great experience at Towson Lexus. We purchased a pre-owned Lexus RX and are very happy with the car. The vehicle was in excellent condition and exactly what we were looking for. Special thanks to Bwerani! We came in close to closing time, but he was incredibly patient and never made us feel rushed.

Thanks again, Bwerani. We love our RX and would definitely recommend Towson Lexus to others. ”
“ Just drove over from Delaware for a test drive and by the end of the day drove home with the vehicle. What a great experience all around and as business owners we really appreciated the care they gave us and the not pushy sales you see way too often. Great People!! ”
“ Worked with Nathan who made my first car buying experience super easy! The entire process was very simple & the business managers were very helpful. Loving my new car! ”

“ Couldn't be happier with our new (used) Volvo and the professionalism of John Davenport and Khalid Hassouneh. Just an update: 2 yrs later and getting to use the extended warranty that we were told could be used at any ASE certified mechanic. Unfortunately the Toyota Motor Insurance customer service rep informed us that they would only honor it at the original purchase dealership or a Volvo dealership😒 ”
“ I recently purchased a Lexus TX 350 Luxury from Lexus of Towson, and I am absolutely thrilled with my new vehicle. The dealership ultimately helped me find exactly what I was looking for, and I appreciate everyone who worked to complete the purchase. My experience, however, was more stressful than it needed to be because I received inconsistent information from different members of the sales team. Throughout the process, I had to repeatedly ask for clarification regarding the vehicle, pricing, and included features. At times, it seemed that communication between team members was lacking, making it difficult to feel confident that everyone was working from the same information. Improving communication and consistency throughout the sales process would make an already good experience an excellent one. I would like to recognize three individuals who made a lasting positive impression. Nathan, my sales associate, was courteous, responsive, and worked hard to help me throughout the process. Although there were communication challenges, my impression was that they stemmed from the overall process rather than from any one individual. I truly appreciate his professionalism and his efforts on my behalf. Reggie was outstanding. He patiently explained the technology and features of my new Lexus, answered all of my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable before I drove away. His knowledge, professionalism, and enthusiasm were exceptional, and he made the delivery of my vehicle a wonderful experience. I would also like to thank Leony in Finance. Although we only met at the end of the process, he took the time to carefully explain every document, answered my questions without rushing me, and made sure I fully understood everything I was signing. His patience, professionalism, and attention to detail gave me confidence and brought the entire purchasing experience to a positive conclusion. ”
“ I've bought multiple Lexus vehicles over the years, so I know what to expect from the Lexus brand – this experience fell far short! Thursday, I spoke with salesperson Nathan about a vehicle. Friday, I test drove 2 vehicles and wanted to move forward with one of them. I asked about price flexibility and the service history. His manager, Usman, said the car couldn't be sold yet because it hadn't passed Maryland State Inspection. I was told the inspection would finish Monday and I could return then to buy it. Disappointing, but I appreciated the honesty and left believing the car was mine. Saturday morning (July 4th), Nathan texted that he'd gotten my price approved and to start the financing application so paperwork could move and I could come in that afternoon. I started the application and arranged to be there at 1:00 PM, understanding I'd finalize paperwork Saturday and pick up the car Monday after inspection. About 30 minutes later, Nathan texted: the vehicle was sold. A car that "couldn't legally be sold" Friday was gone less than 24 hours later. That doesn't add up. Worse was what followed. I called Nathan repeatedly that Saturday. Kevin and the receptionist both confirmed he was there, but I got no callback. I'd already rearranged my day and completed financing paperwork based on their word. Nathan didn't call back for four days! Not to apologize, but to ask if I wanted a different vehicle. I could accept losing the car – that happens. What I can't accept is being told it legally couldn't be sold, then encouraged to finance it because the deal was "approved," then losing it in less than 24 hours. I've always trusted Lexus for integrity and service. This experience was NOT that – the poor communication, a car sold mid-process, days of silence…all disappointing. Sharing this with Lexus Corporate too, since it's not the experience the brand promises. ”
“ Very poor experience with the service shop. Was charged $270 for diagnosis after I presented P-code (basically, they merely confirmed the information I presented). Charged me another $500 to replace 2 spark plugs. After 3 days, same problem resurfaced. I requested to service rep that I not be charged for another diagnosis fee, but received no response. This dealership failed to see my point of view after charging $740 for a very minor service, and then did not offer any concession when the same problem resurfaced. This dealership has permanently lost my business. ”
“ Brandon Scott is an amazing service rep. He is extremely conscientious and works tirelessly to make sure one’s service experience is hassle free. I trust his judgment and appreciate how he makes me feel like a VIP customer. ”
