Replying to: n16uel (Aug 06, 2006 7:52 am) Although slexy1's suggestion to google is a good one, when I was looking for a mechanic I wanted some recommendations, not just a name. No one responded with a name for my area on this forum, but I did get a suggestion to go to cartalk.com for suggestions. That's how I found the mechanic I intend to go to. Can't say if it's going to work out, because I haven't had him do any work so far. cn |

Today the speedometer was stuck on 0mph, even while going 30mph. Then when I hit higher speeds it jumped up into place. It's never done this before. What are my options?

Replying to: dealerflorida (Jul 06, 2002 2:29 pm) Curious: The car has the Cooper Trendsetter SE tires. In even the slightest rain the rear end comes around 6" on a turn. A lot of LS400 owners have gone to the Michelin MXV4 plus. What tires do you have? Bob |

Thanks for your input. I'm leaning toward the MSV4s with additional siping. Bob |

Is there anyone in the Chicagoland area who drives there LS without changeing to snow tires durning the winter months and can tell me what that experience has been? For those of you who do change when do you change and when do you change back? Also if you change to snows do you use summer or all season the rest of the year? Thanks, cn |

I've heard LS400 owners like the Michelin MXV4 Plus tires year round. Discount Tire Co. also adds siping that increases traction and gives a smoother ride. Check with the local dealer to check out the various tires that are available. We have a LS400 we recently bought used. It has Cooper Trendsetter SE tires. These will be very ineffective in Detroit weather this winter. I'll be changing to the Michelins. bob
