Can some tell me the best tires for the smoothest ride for LS430. Thanks.

You may wish to share what size wheels you have on your LS.

Also take a look at the Tire Racks comparison and feedback surveys.

Lots of prior threads on this topic as well

Any of the upper end Bridgestone or Michelin tires - time and time again, they always have the smoothest, most comfortable ride...

Bridgestone Turanza Serenity would actually be my choice right this second, though I haven't driven them yet... They are an improved, asymmetrical, version of the Turanza LS series, and everything about them seems better. If they are even a small amount better than the LS's, then they are definitely worth it...

Michelin has some good offerings as well, but the Bridgestone stuff is cheaper...

The Turanza Serenity would be a excellent choice.

Brandon,

After reading the reviews at Tire Rack I was sold on the Turanza LS-V, only to find out they are no longer available. It appears the Serenity is now the nearest equivalent. However, I noticed there are only a couple of reviews (no Lexus owners). I assume this is due to the newness of the tire itself.

My question is: Has Tire Rack conducted any tests on this tire yet? If not, any word on when they might? Any non-published feedback from owners?

I am planning to buy the Goodyear Eagle ResponsEdge (they were runner-up in a side-by-side comparison with the Turanza LS-V's), but if the Serenity's are as good or better than the LS-V's I will buy them instead.

Thanks ~ John

Back to back, I couldn't tell the difference between them... The Serenity is going to the better tire of the two - the asymmetrical tires tend to wear great... From a new tire perspective, back toback, the Serenity is every bit as quiet as the LS-V, and handles just as well, probably better...
