Opinions on a few performance 225/60/16 tires for 99 LS400
I'll be buying new 225/60/16 tires within the next few months for my 99 LS400 with OEM 16" wheels.
I was wondering if anyone had any opinions or experience with these tires:
Bridgestone Potenza RE750
Dunlop SP Sport 01
Firestone Firehawk Wide Oval
Fuzion ZRi
Sumitomo HTR Z II
Kumho Ecsta KH11
Any other recommendations are welcome. I'd like a good mix of performance and comfort, maybe with a slight performance bias.

I can tell you the fuzion's are garbage. They slip way to easy. I had them on my wrx and switched to some hankook 104's and even though those aren't special they felt much better than the fuzions.
for the money I've had good experiences with Dunlop. Bridgestones are always nice, but it comes with a price.

hankooks+fuzion=crap (had them both before)
the sumitomos grip but wear out REALLY fast.
id recco either the kumhos or Yokohama AVID V4S
or some continental contiextremes if they come in that size.

I highly reccomend the Bridgestone Turanzas.. perfect blend of performance and quietness/comfort that the LS deserves. I hate my current Yokohama Avids, but at the price.. tey are pretty good. The Turanzas were twice as much.

but hes asking for PERFORMANCE, not comfort....

I also ran Bridgestone Turanza's on my stockers, and never had any complaints. Agree with Suneet that they do give a smooth quiet ride, but they also gripped like the car was riding on rails as well. No slip grip, good all weather tire, great in the snow, and quiet as a church mouse at Sunday Mass. Only offset is that they are a bit expensive.

I think I'll be going with Bridgestones, but I'm considering the Potenzas RE750($108 each @ tirerack) as well as Turanza LS-Z($141 each). Can anyone compare who has had both of these tires? I've read about how the Turanzas will be more comfort oriented, but if the Potenzas have decent comfort, then I'd probably rather go for more performance, as long as it's not too rough.

LOL.. well the RE750 is the Fuzion ZRi compound.
I usually run BFG, Michelin or Bridgestone on my cars. I just bought a set of Fuzion to try out on the LS. I'll have them installed tomorrow or Saturday when the wheels get here.
I teach motor sports for a living. And I can assure you- that MOST tire complaints are not caused by poor tires, but by poor driving skills and/or improper inflation.
