How do they compare with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S?

What's the UTGS rating?

Did you recalibrate the speedometer?

They're a budget tire. Made by Nexen. But I've had them on several cars and they've never gave me any problems.

320 AA

Above 70 MPH it reads maybe 1 MPH slower so I'm not to worried about it.

I just purchased the LS500 Inspiration Series last month (couldn't believe they even had one of these). I fell in love as soon as I saw it and just couldn't resist. My biggest car purchase ever but totally worth it.

Yeah I got a 10 year 100k mile warranty, and for $1298 I the tire and rim insurance as well as ding protection. I also got ResistAll applied for $1224. They had many other after-sale options but those were the only ones I felt were actually worth it. The paint, tires, and leather are just so beautiful on this car I had to do something extra to protect them.

What does the 10 year warranty cover? Bumper to Bumper or Powertrain only?

How does the tire and rim insurance work?

Bumper to bumper, and as for the tire and rim insurance, it covers cosmetic repairs like fixing minor scuffs, scratches, scrapes, or rash. Original equipment only. It does not cover dented, cracked, or bent wheels or damage caused by road hazards.

Definitely get that interior ceramic coated so its well protected. The interior and exterior color is pretty sick especially with the kirko glass, guessing its the color of the interior but your door leds look brighter.
