replacement tire Qs for Gen1 GS300
Hello GS'ers
My Dear Old Mom has a 93 GS3 and it has come time to replace the tires. The dealership (Lexus of Kendall) and a tire shop (Tire Kingdom of Miami) said that the tires (Goodyear Eagle GA 215 60VR16) are specially designed to fit with the car and that any other brand/size would "affect the performance." This sounds like a load of BS. Can anyone verify?
I know that 225 55/16's give you pretty much the same rolling diameter at the originals. I did this when I had my Ford SHO. Has anyone done this with their Gen1? Have you had any problems?
Also, can anyone recommend a reasonably-priced all-weather tire (V-rated or higher)? Does anybody know anything about the Yokohama AvidV4? Keep in mind that this is for my mom, who won't be taking corners at 45mph.
Thanks
