Default Quiet Tires for 2004 LS430 Ultra

Hello CL members, I will be picking up a 2004 LS430 Ultra with air suspension this week. I was hoping that you good suggest an excellent all season tire. I was thinking of going with 18's or 19's in a staggered fitment on of 9fr / 10rr''. I am not interested in low profile tires, since I don't want to give up the comfortable ride. Also this car will be drive in the snow from time to time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you.

If you have the Euro sport package the size is 245/45 18. The best ride will be with the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. 19 will diminish your ride quality.

Hello Lexusfreak,
Yes I did get your message. If you don't mind I have another question. I was looking to get the following rims

Euroline DH

I had spoke with some guys at wheelexperts.com and they had suggested that I go with a staggered fitment. For the front 18x8.5 with a 245/45/18 tire. In the rear 18x9.5 275/40/18. They said it would look much better for the car. When I expressed my concerns about ride quality, they said it would be fine even in the some. Are they correct? Could you please clarify what this all means.

I was just hoping to get an excellent all-season tire, the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S in particular. Is this type of tire could on wet road and snow. I have read all the reviews from tirerack.com and they are mixed. When it comes to spending this type of money I just want to be sure I am making the right decision. Any insight you can provide, will be greatly appreciated

Thank you,
