Default What tires for a 90 LS400?

Time to replace the rubber on my moms LS. What is the best tire for that car? Needs to be quiet and good riding. I don't need a Z rating because my mom is 89 years old. The car has a little less than 15,000 total miles on it. I need some input so that I get the correct tire the first time. Thanks, Skip

A '90 LS-400 with only 15,000 miles on it......Holy ******.....Does she want to sell it ???

I am running Yokohama YK420 --tire size -- P205/65R-15 -- these have been a great tire and wear well.

I'm using TOYO Proxes TPT and I'm happy with it. You should go with bigger tires 225/60/15 (same diameter) to slightly improve handling, braking & steering.

I suggest Bridgestone Turanza LS-H or V or Bridgestone Potenza RE92 $62 each on www.tirerack.com.

Faulken Xiex 512's
Excellent handling
low rolling resistance
Consumer reports #1 tire
Only about 65 bucks a tire
I have these on my LS400, and love them. They are much better than the Toyo Proxes tire that I was using, and they are way cheaper.

Default Turanza

The best ride quality and traction combo for that car is the Turanza LSH.

Turanza LS H
