What tires are on your ISx50?

I have the Potenza RE760 Sport on my fronts and they were on the car when I purchased it from the original owner. I am not sure how many miles where on them when I got them but I have put 20,000 miles on them and they look like they would last at least another 10,000 easily. I put PSS's on my rears about 16,000 miles ago to replace the stock ER33's which sucked and I need new tires very soon. Tread is almost gone on them. I am most likely going to be going PSS's all the way around for about $1100 out the door. I really have been happy with them on the rears and the fronts should last at least 30,000 miles I believe. I thought about trying out the Conti DW's but they would have only saved me about $100 over the PSS's.

Just got my car done with 19" Linea Corse Dyna's and Michelin PSS's. Running a big 245 on the front (275 R) and the handling is unbelievable. It is literally on rails now, and is always composed no matter what I throw at it. I noticed the difference right away compared to BFG G-force Comp 2's. The tires are instantly responsive whereas before the other tires took a beat to respond. It was worth the extra money, and their treadwear is rated a 300 which is a plus.

Just ordered a pair of the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus for the front of my 350. I'm on 18s and started getting tire noise from the driver's front. Went with the Michelin, largely due to the great reviews I read in this thread. Not a bad deal at TireRack.com and I can get them installed locally. Keeping my rears for now, as they still have 7/32s of tread left.

Had the Hankook v12 for 14k with 70% tread left but switched over to Pilot Super Sport cause the Hankook sucks! You guys shouldn't based your opinion on just one tire review(Road & Track review). The hankook evo v12 is the WORST tires I've ever owned. Never again I will buy Hankooks.. Michelin Pilot Super Sport ftw

Had Bridgestone S001 for 35k miles and it has a very good grip on dry but very noisy for me. Now replaced S001 with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 which has a better comfort driving, the grip is good but not on the S001 level.

And there's dozens of negative reviews about it too.. what's your point? lol bottom line is.. you get what you pay for. IMO Hankooks evo v12 shouldn't be in the max performance category(or the ultra High Performance Summer). It should be in the touring category.
