Default New Owner Of A 90 LS400-Some Basic Questions

Greetings all! new to the board and to the Lexus brand having just purchased a 90 LS400-so many questions rattling around my head and all info put forth on this board is greatly appreciated.First up is tires-stock size is 205 any negative going to a 225? Any opinion on what tire(s) would be best? Any consensus on upgrading the performance of this fine automobile? exhaust,computer chip relacement etc? Any advice on where to start and what to do with this well taken care of (my friend purchased it new and it was factory maintained-232,000 miles so far) TIA for all the responses (fingers crossed)

Default Welcome Bradster!

Hi Bradster,

Welcome to the forum. I also have a high mileage LS400 (212000) and have kept mine mostly stock. You will find a lot of good first-hand information here on each of these topics and almost anything else you can think of. I did some searches on these topics and posted the results here

Tire size (check out www.tirerack.com for some good recommendations and reviews too) https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sea...der=descending

Performance (warning, LS's don't tolerate open intakes very well, most have seen a performance decrease, better to modify to stock air intake for more cold air read more here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...threadid=55111 )

Hopefully, that will get you started. My suggestion is to take your time and search on whatever sounds interesting, then PM the people who have done the mod and ask their opinion. Check these forums here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/for...?s=&forumid=68

Good Luck!
