When To Put Blizaks On My Ls

[akewlguy]

Any suggestions on a month or date to put Blizzaks on my LS? Also if you reccomend another tire that is appreciated.

I am thinking after Turkey day.. Not looking forward to losing my awesome 17" Tauranza V's.. They are awesome, but any advice is greatly appreciated.

Go to NOAA [ or similar weather site ] website and find out what day is the average first snowfall in your area and put the blizzaks on a week before.

Thanks DCFISH.. I will do that.. Anyone else have personal opinions on tires?

Hi,

I have used Blizzaks on 91 LS400 for last 2 winters. You can enhance more by putting 2 70lbs sandbags in the trunk as well.

If you put sandbags in the trunk sure you will have better grip on the tires but as a result you will also have increased stopping distance and more work for your brakes. I'm not sure if this is a wash or of one way is better and I admit I haven't yet driven the LS in snow.

i dont drive my car in the snow unless absolutely have to, thats one reason why im not too bothered by living in the country

Well I am going to buy a new car with FWD. Then I will have no concerns with the tires. What can I get for $500 bucks. :)

Roger that - Boston area (see location in my profile summary!).

I will be selling my 16" Lexus OEM rims with Blizzak tires in the for sale forum once I reach 20 posts. Hang on, that's now. I'll post soon and email you.

Yeah I have the oem 16" wheels. So for 550 I can get tires removed and replace by Firestone for the next 3-4 years. This week I am going to Roanoke, VA so I hope it does not snow.

I just had Lexus of Omaha mount and balance my Blizzaks, summer tires are Touranza. I keep track of my winter miles and based on just 3500 to 4000 miles each winter, these tires should last 5 to 6 years, very soft tread, but extremely effective on snow and ice. Anyway, it probably depends on where you live, but I have no problem putting them on a little early, better to be safe than sorry.
