What is the absolute quietest, smoothest tire for a 2000 ls400 stock?

good point. i will say though that every mechanic i work with also feels the same way about kumhos's. we all run them on our cars and always recommend them whenever someone will listen. take that for what it's worth.

I had the Michelin Primacy MXV4's installed in November and I'm very happy with them. I ended up paying $600 OTD for four with full road hazard.
There is now a $60 MIR rebate for all Michelins. check out discounttire.com. Michelin also has a 30 day return policy that states that if you are not happy with your tires for any reason, you can return them for a full refund.
As they used to say in Data Processing (that's what it was called before MIS, IS and IT) about IBM: You'll never lose your job going with IBM.
The same rule applies for Michelins when selecting tires: You just can't go wrong with Michelins.
Good luck,
Eddie

At discount tire? Were they V-rated or H-rated tires? The rebate link was on the right column when I was searching for tires.

All,
Sorry as I should have included this info in first reply.
My tires are H-rated. I had two coupons totaling $70.00. I purchased them at Discount Tire B&M.
You should be able to do about as well (or better) than my price with a little shopping and negotiating.

Bump...I am new to this so this is my first post...
I have a 1999 LS400...I have to replace my tires as my Goodyear RS-A's only lasted less than 30K miles ...I've had Michelin's b/f and they weren't a smooth ride...
So...I went to Discount Tire and they recommended Yokohama's and wanted to see if anyone had some experience with them, such as a smooth ride, long lasting, etc... They have YK520 or AVID V4s...Any help would be great...
Thanks in advance...

My wife's Father traded his Michelin Energy's for the Yokohama Avids and never could get them to balance out. After they were worn he replaced them with the same Michelin Energy's - back to normal. I have Toyo Proxes on mine since they are plus sized - hard to beat Michelin's ride and longevity - sorry to hear you had issues.
