2025 LC/LC with the Michelin LTX Trail tires. 8,000 miles. The other day, we got a nail in the right rear tire. It's on the shoulder, so, according to the dealer, it is not repairable. The dealer put the spare tire on the truck for us so we could drive while we decide what to do. The pleasant surprise is that we not only have a full-size matching spare tire, but it is also on a matching wheel. Not sure if this was known or not. I assumed that we'd have a steelie under there.
Now to decide if we are going to spring for a new set of tires.
Your comments, please.

Duh. New tires. Easy.
No brainer!
It's only logical that you get new tires. 
I bought a 2025 250 a few weeks ago have put about 2000 miles on it. I think this is my 28th Land Cruiser - most recently a LX600 (300 series) and a 2020 200 Series before that. One FJ60, One FJ45 and a whole bunch of FJ40's since the late 1980's. Also had a 4Runner in 2010 and a whole bunch of Taco's, Tundra's and Mini trucks. I grew up riding around in Land Cruisers when we lived in the Philippines as a kid and have loved them ever since.
I freaking love this truck. I was not going into it with big expectations but I have nothing to complain about it been great so far. I was told I should buy a lexus GX but I was afraid of the tundra motor issues and I frankly like that this "Land Cruiser" on it. Something that I have been around since I was a little kid. Lexus was also harder to get, selling for full price and a lot more expensive. I am stoked that I bought it we love driving it.
Times change I am getting old can't stop the technology in your life. Accept it or not. For me, this works.

I vote just buy an extra spare, preferably used, replace the whole set at 20k total or when the next tire goes out.
Another alternative is to replace two, though having done that I wish I'd done what I first suggested. Tires are a little pricey these days.
I’m hearing a whining/buzzing noise from under the hood when in drive or reverse while applying brakes. Lasts a few seconds then stops.
Also had wonky dash display yesterday evening. It seems to have resolved now though. Hard to describe. Dash was mostly dark with just a few lights on. No gage backgrounds. Weird.

What do you think of it compared to the lx600?
I was not a fan of the LX600 - had high hopes of it after owning the 200 series but it was what I thought it would be. Gas tanks was small, terrible range, back seat was not that great, I like the Land Cruiser 250 a lot more.
