H or V rated will be fine. I mean it's kind of rediculous to think you will be driving an LS sustained periods of time over 130 mph.

H rated tires were stock. Only for US market LS430s were limited to 131mph, european and eastern LS430s were limited to 155mph.

I wouldn't go lower than an H rated tire. The issue with the speed dating really isn't speed, its sidewall performance and load rating.

Hopefully a good shop would not go below H
