Yes more road noise but this car is so well insulated it sounds very distant

Would you mind posting the Pirelli rim size? I didn't find 22 inch Pirellis with correct load index and correct outer diameter. It is matching up to 21'' only.

Not a fan of blacked out wheels. A contrasing color on those wheels would make them killer.

Maximum load index of 245/30/22 is 92. Because of the LS600 weight an index of at least 96 is required. 265/30/22 front and 315/25/22 rear is matching or 265 all around but the overall diameter is much more.
