Best Tire for LS460
#107
I was between these and some DSW, though I decided to go with the lower cost Eagles and an alignment to help the pocketbook after this initial huge purchase. (600hL)
I'm very happy with the improved ride quality, with noise and smooth driving. Cornering is a little wonky at higher speeds, though it's a good compromise...I already have a track car and by no means need this to perform like one also.

I have a set of Pirelli Cinturato P7 Plus on mine, they have about 25,000 miles on them and have been excellent. Very smooth and quiet, good traction in dry and wet. They're at about 5-6/32nds now. I could certainly get another 15-20,000 miles out of them but will replace when they get to 4/32nds. If that happens before this winter I will do it then. I'll just buy another set of the same tires.

I'm running Good Year Eagle RS A2 in 245/45/19, the ride is fantastically soft and quiet. When I got he car it was wearing Blizzacks worn almost to wear-bars, and cupping to the inside rears. Road noise was almost unbearable, it sounded as if the bearings or hubs were failing, though I knew it was road noise and vibration.

The Goodyear RS-A2 is standard equipment on the Tesla Model S. I kind of expected a more premium tire for the Tesla but the Goodyears are very good for the price. Like Drew, I also noticed some occasional handling issues with the Goodyears, as if the tires had uneven grip or something. Based on when the previous owner had the Goodyears installed and the treadlife left, I expect the RS-A2 to last about 30K miles total -- Goodyear doesn't actually list a treadlife value on the tire. The Pirelli P7+ has a 70K-mile warranty, but costs twice as much. Someone might actually do better buying two sets of Goodyear RS-A2 than one set of the Pirellis. I loved the P7+ on our LS 430 and will see if I can feel a difference with them again, on the 460, compared to the Goodyears.

In all seriousness, the car is running on the original tires from 9 years ago? Just from age those tires are unsafe...

Has anyone tried the Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 on their LS460's? I had them on my GS430, loved them and you can get great deals on them but they may be a little sporty/ride a little rougher for many LS owners

Have them on mine and very happy. Running 20's on mine but they ride great and are quiet. Rain traction is awesome. Even though they're one of the highest rated all season tires for snow, they were still a joke last winter. Car was garaged and drove the wife's MDX with Blizzaks.

Maybe it is a little unfair to compare the RWD LS460 with all seasons to a MDX with the best awd system especially for snow equipped with Snow Tires though.

My condolences lol. Those are terrible tires, replacing them would increase your enjoyment of the LS tremendously. I kept them for 8700 miles and was sorry I didn't replace them sooner.

I took a chance with Discount Tire's Yokohama YK580 on my LS and after just over a year and 11k miles, I heartily recommend them. No signs of wear yet, pretty quiet and handled last winter with no issues. They also corner well at high speeds and ride smoothly. Just another option to consider and I believe they're a bit more affordable than the Michelin and Pirelli offerings. I have 19' wheels, btw. Happy hunting..
