hi guys 99 lexus gs300 with 16" oem chromes, somebody slashed my rear tire and I'm gonna buy all 4 cuz they were pretty worn out.. what do you guys suggest, and wheres the best place to look for a deal, I dont want nothing too crazy just something durable, any suggestions are appriciated and I am looking forward to your answers.

 

Toyo Versasdo

Luxury + performance

 

it looks like they are not made anymore or no one online sells them.

 

Sucks that people have to do stuff like this.

I would wholeheartedly recommend the Yokohama tires. I replaced the BFG G-force sports that I had (horrible tire) with Yoko's, and I've never looked back. Discount tire sells them, and a full set of 4 should run you less than $600 out the door.

Which ones to be exact? Also does it matter how wide they are will my OEM rims fit on any? I currently have 205's tirerack gives me 225 as OEM for 99 GS I'll check the manual when I get home. Thx for your replies guys.

 

wider is better... The more tire you can contact to the ground the better, more traction better handling and a bit better gas mileage. Get as big as the rim can handle (without looking ghey that is!)

 

then my question is what is the widest the OEM 16" chrome's can handle?

 

iirc, 225's are the widest you 'll want to use on your stock wheels.

 

I will say go 225/55/16 that's what i had till last night

any on these page good? I'm looking to spend less than a 100 per tire as I am planning on doing a timining belt/water pump/ball joints/rear brakes as well and I am going to be very broke..

 

The AVID H4S is a good option for you, IMO. The Falken Ziex ZE-512 would be a second choice. I'm not 100%, but I believe I have the YK520's on my car, and I've been very happy with them.

And I definitely recommend Discount Tire. They've always treated me well, and they take care of any problems without a lost of hassle.

These have worked out great for me. Good grip, pretty quiet and supposed to last 40k miles.

 

Falken are garbage please don't get them,they are not good in the winter you just gonna be slide all over the place,same thing with good year eagle Gt i hated them cause my car came with it brand new from the factory.
Get some yokohama AVid TRZ or Toyo or kumho they should be in your price range

 

my fav tire been on both my Lexus for the last 6 years

Michelin energy MXV4 225/55/16

 

This is based on...?? It's a highly rated tire (the one I recommended), and I have had several people I know who own them. They do get winter weather where they are (I don't), and I've not heard this about them. Perhaps you had a different kind of Falken? I have a set on my daily driver, and I'm very happy with them both dry and wet...
