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, I have the Turanza EL42s, and they're not a bad tire, IMHO. If you check the comments on the Tire Rack website, you'll find the odd negative comment, but most are quite happy with them.
SW03ES, The Canadian LS does indeed have a clear bra. They are also supplied with wheel locks. My dealer said these were installed in Toronto. I didn't realize the LS was shipped through there, so that's news to me. Doesn't make sense though...
