Need new tires for my IS. Any suggestions?
I got a bubble on my driver's front tire (225/40/18 Goodyear F1), and a non-repairable nail in my rear driver's (255/40/18). Other 2 tires got 5/32nds thread left.
I'm now stuck with 2 options: replace only the left side with similar, or change all 4. Those Goodyears are expensive, and not very durable as I see from other posts. Any suggestions on which ones to get?
I see some good deals on Nitto's/Kumho/Hankook. Does anyone have any experience with those?

Depends what you want: roadholding, ride quality, compromise between both, wet/snow handling, dry handling. My only advice is not to take the customer reviews on tire rack or discount tire too seriously. My experience has frequently been the opposite of those customer reports!

I've always followed the stock rule... as in the factory tested these things out the most and figured what was best for the IS. That way of thinking has never let me down either. But as others mentioned, it depends what your priorities are.
