Since the LS is speed limited at 118 because of the tires did you get the dealer to re tune it for different tires? I tried to get my dealer to do it and they couldnt figure it out.

I'm still running my stock tires. The reason the speed limiter is off is because I have a Trifecta Tune.

Yes.........But I would never admit to any speed over 70 mph (on any forum) unless it was done on a track.

Every single LS made is limited to 118mph because of the tire rating. If you have stock tires, the rating for those is 118. You could very well blow out all your tires going past that rating because they are not made for speeds higher then 118.
I have an LT and it came with BF Goodrich tires. Those aren't considered stock are they or does Checy put a cheaper tire on the LS?

If yours are 18" rims, then they have the same tires as the LS.
