Am currently using LS3000 for past 10 months...good for wet weather...LS3000 is better than LS2000 although a little more noiser....my friends had tried LS2000 but tyre tears easily when rub against kerbs....may be my friend driving too hard against kerb!! LOL

but would LS2000/LS3000 be more noisy than T1R which I am using currently. Was hoping to change to something not so noisy. thanx for sharing.

i'm using ls2000. very lasting tyres. very good for normal driving. it's not really quiet after 10000km, especially if you don't neutral your camber, the sides (noise reduction pattern) wears out and your tyres will get noisy.

performance wise i never really corner or drive hard, so i don't know. wet grip is just average, during heavy rain under hard acceleration i can feel some lost of grip. but my tyres are coming to its end, other than that quite ok.
Treat a car like a human. It needs healthy diet, care and grooming, and most importantly, exercise.

I just changed 3 of mine to LS2000 today, but after reading all the available replies so far, wondering whether it was a wise move...like opinions of it not very good...sigh...

Waste my $$$...but at least each pc is not TOO expensive..around $160

Cuz the last tyre still relatively new..
Doesn't really matter aniwae since CL7s tend to have the 'swerves to the left' characteristic.

$160 for 215/17...can't remember exactly..but its for the standard 17" CL7R rims.

I just got my rear camber done today so perhaps the 'swerve left' behavoir will disappear.

Had to change 3 cuz the previous tyres all were terribly worn off due to negative camber. The last one I changed it less than 1 yr ago so its still 'manageable'

No la...no bad experience yet. I just changed em' yesterday. But if you read from the very first post on this thread, the reviews for this tyre seems to be below average. Nobody has yet said anything strikingly postiive about it.

And since I just changed to them yesterday, in hindsight it may seem to be a waste of $$

BTW, I was using FALKEN ZE326 previously and all have failed prematurely due to the camber issue.
