Putting new tires on the front only can be dangerous. They will have more traction than the worn old rear tires. This means the rear tires will loose traction first. Can you say oversteer? Think rain, sand, gravel, any low traction situation. For someone not familiar with oversteer, this can be a very bad thing. I know someone who oversteered off a mountain road and rolled their SUV because they but new tires on the front only. Luckily they escaped with bruises only, but SUV was totaled.
If your wife's Lexus has the same size tires front and rear, put the worn rear tires on the front and the new tires on the rear. If it doesn't have the same size tires, replace all four.
