I have never been in a crash in either the Grand Cherokee (175K miles) nor the LS400 (62K miles), so i can neither confirm nor deny your allegations about which fares better in a crash.

The Jeep's safety did improve over time -- probably because of requirements to meet more passenger car safety standards as SUVs became mainstream vehicles.

Sorry, I'm a little "hot" on the whole SUV rollover issue this year -- two people in my circle killed in SUV rollovers including a 14 year old in a high speed Honda Pilot rollover on I-70 and a 30 year old in a low speed Jeep Wrangler rollover on a rural road.

I have been using Nokian snow tires from last three years. I lived in mountains of WV and they performed very well. I usually change them from my all season to snow tires around Thanksgiving and back to all season in April.

I tried twice with burned copy on my 2002 ls 430 and it did not work. It takes Dual Layer DVD. What am I missing?

I did try on 2002 LS 430 and it has not worked for me. I tried making an ISO image as well as an exact copy. If some one can figure it out, I would like to learn that trick

I have a 02 LS430 and use Nokian tires. I live in the mountains of WV and these tires have been excellent. I had read expert reviews on these tires before I started using them. They are made in Finland and are used under extreme conditions.
