Lexus Son

Thanks for the tip on that. My advice for him on this one is at least to have the Lexus dealer put on a better set of A/S's before he replaces them himself. Still curious if others have been given Turanza EL42's. Jeff

The Dunlops are there, but there are no results as of yet. It is funny, because I think that I have stumbled onto something here. When I read various posts out there, many people mention a Car & Driver article that gave a bad rating to the LS460 in terms of braking. It is mentioned by many owners and enthusiasts, that the car was tested on the Turanza EL42's, but that the tests were done using a pre-production model LS, and that the tires would be different when it went on sale to the public. The ratings for this tire are very bad, and they do not compare in many ways to the Dunlops that many of you seem to have on your cars. This is going to be an interesting one. My dad is going to owe me big time if he gets new tires. As for me, my LS400 runs on Michelin MXV4 Plus tires (not my choice) for the summer. It is fine. Jeff

Hi everyone, I own a '99 LS400 and am posting on behalf of my dad who has a new LS460. He recently put his original tires back on, after having snow's on for the winter. As I am in the process of choosing new tires myself and am doing a ton of research, I looked up the original equipment Bridgestone Turanza EL42 and was shocked. They were ranked 25th out of 27 tires in the Grand Touring All-Season survey category. I was wondering what tires came with your LS460, and whether you are happy with them. Jeff
