I've got over 10k on mine, and no noise what so ever. Wear patterns are good, in fact IMO are wearing better than my stockers did after the same amount of mileage.
For the price I don't feel these can be beat plus a huge upside no one has mentioned is They are not directional so you can rotate them (side to side only if you have staggered).

I actually believe they were directional. If you look on the sidewall, they indicate an outside sidewall and inside sidewall so technically, rotating them will have no effect.
Still a great tire though.

$112 each for the fronts and $155 each for the rears. Shipping was about $45. The place I had them shipped to charged $18 each for mounting and balancing.
This was the absolutely cheapest scenario I could find for the IS and with TireRack's positive review of the tire, there really was no other alternative for me.

But by being able to rotate, you give yourself a better chance for even wear patterns. Considering our cars have different loads at each corner, and then throw in that we don't travel on flat, straight roads there is no way your tires will wear exactly the same at all four corners.
Will this actually save you from having to buy tires any sooner? Eh... who knows. Guess it depends on how long you are keeping the car.

The tires are great value for sure. I have had them for about 4k miles now. They still sound pretty quiet. Tread looks brand new still. My brother also has them on his GS350 and loves them also. It sounds like this tire is pretty popular and for a great reason.
