ED. Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 The 98 needs some rubber and I called Sams and I can get four BFG tires put on for less than $500. I haven't checked tirerack yet but wanted opinions on those tires. Not too familiar with them. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990LS400 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Assuming that BFG has many different tire models, your question seems awfully general. The current most popular all season tire for the LS400/430 on Lexus forums seems to be the Michelin Primacy MXV4. That's what I have on my 00 LS since and I recently bought a set for our Camry. I've been driving Lexus LS cars for 21+ years and wouldn't dream of driving one in Midwest winters without snow tires. My current winter tires for my LS are Bridgestone Blizzack WS70 mounted on a set of aftermarket wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED. Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 I mean BFG in general as a tire. I've never owned a set. The MXV4 seems to be a really good tire. I checked tirerack and they list there for $141 and Sam's sells them for $152. I'll probably end up with them. I hate the snow and am definitely looking into some winter tires for the car. I almost got some for my BMW last winter but held off. The people I know with them wouldn't go without. I always fear getting stuck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billydpowell Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I do not know anything about BFG tires, because I always buy Michelin, either Symmetry or Energy. They are speed rated 112-118 and that is faster than I am going to drive. The Michelin Primacy MXV4 are rated 130 and probably better than mine in some ways, but the Michelin are a very quite running tire, and I like that.. plus when it snows, I stay home and dont drive, it never last more than a couple of days here. good luck on whatever you choose.

SRK Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I've used BFG's in the past, and some were good, some were not. The Euro TA is especially hard-riding, and my advice would be to avoid it. Michelin just doesn't make a bad tire in my opinion. The MXV-4 is without doubt one of the smoothest tires out there. They will transform the car, in a good way. That said I put Exalto's on my LS, and was very pleased - excellent handling, quiet, not quite as smooth as the MXV but still great. When I can afford it, I'll put Michelins on the ZO-6, and get rid of the Goodyear F1's on it now. I just like Michelin.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
