I need to get new tires for 07 LS460
I think stock rims are 18x7.5
and stock tires are 235 50 R18
Can I put 245 50 R 18 on stock rim?
Is it safe when I do more than 120mph?
I just want little more grip....

I have Dunlops on my 07 at the moment and they are nice.. but I think if I was going to drop a new set on and get a bit more grip it would be the Yoko's

I used to have Goodyear (H rated, which can go 130 mph max) on my LS. They were very quiet and the traction was good.
I switched to Michelin (Y rated, unlimited speed). The're nice but not as quiet as the Goodyears were. However, the traction is much firmer and better. I was very surprised how quickly I became tolerant to the modest elevation in road noise.
I did around 130 mph on both sets. The Goodyears are quieter but give less confidence as they aren't as firm as the Michelins are.

I have 225 and 245 (was 255 but downgraded 10mm to get a/s) on my IS and I like them a lot...cheap, good grip, smooth, A/S !!!
Discount tire's website does not work right now....-_-
Gripstone works....then I will have Hankook tires...

yea the Yokohama AVID ENVigor is a Z rated tire that gets really good reviews by folks all over. Plus I really like how it looks which is a plus, it has the streamlined sidewall like a Michelin
