Lexus LS 400 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Lexus LS 400 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • Critical load rating

    The load rating is critical to maintain. There is no legal requirement to fit a particular speed-rating tyre to any car. The Lexus was fitted with Z-rated tyres for those situations when it's driven fully laden at its speed potential for extended periods. You're right, it's something that's not legally possible here, so choosing a tyre with a lower speed rating is good advice.
