Default What tires are on your ISx50?
I was rockin the Bridgestone 760 Sports and loved them until.......1, they wore out in 16k and 2, I replaced them with the Michelin Pilot Sport ASPlus(F - 225/40R18 & R - 245/40R18). This is an Ultra High Performance All-Season tire. Taking curves is so much better, handling in the rain is unbelievable and steering response is far better imo. What is your IS rockin and why do you love/hate them!

I replaced my old tires with bridgestone potenza 760s in October. They're just okay though, I can't wait to replace then with something again and with the IS, sounds like I won't be waiting long...

Continental extremecontact DWS. No problems with them so far (about 2k miles on them). Definitely an upgrade from the champiro's that came with the car though.
