Default Tire recomendation 2010 IS250

Its almost time to replace my tires for my 2010 is250 which has 18 wheels. The dealer gave me a quote for around 800 for all 4. Not sure what the tires are.

Any recommendations for some good cheap option tires i could install?

Thanks.

I have a 2006 IS250 AWD with 100,000 miles which I got with 35K already on it. I am on my second set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus-es. They totally changed how the car felt and handled. I would highly recommend them.

This is the tire I'm leaning towards. Thanks for your feedback!

Good tires but VERY expensive. Have you considered the Continental Extreme Contact DWS?

im in the same boat right now and went with the continental dw's. they are rated awesome in the rain pretty good dry grip and last 35,000 miles. All this for about 650 and you also get a 70 dollar rebate. which makes it a steal!!!

If you have staggered tires (fronts different size than the back). I would go with the less expensive Continentals as that set up cuts the warranty in half because of rotation limitations.

It really depends on what kind of driver you are what how much you performance you want out of your car. I have achillies ATR Sports and they are great in wet and Dry weather and can be had a set of 4 for just under 500(online) and you can have a shop install it for under 100 bucks. The weird thing is they donot offer 255's in the ATR sport1's but they do in the ATR sport 2. Ive had nothing but great performance on this set of tires. I live in NY so snow, rain, heat, etc are all factors in my choice of tires

Also goodyear eagle GT's are are along the same quality and they can be had for the same price online.

If you want the UHP (ultra-high-performance) tires I would recommend the Conti DWS as well as the Michelin Pilot Sport as amazing tires. they are costly but worth the buy. good for the guys down south where all it does it rain and more dry weather than not

For balanced performance + comfort + economical reason, go with Continental DWS. I am running them and they are so damn comfortable and quiet to the point I don't hear anything. It doesn't mean it sucks in handling though. I can still take fast and hard corner better than the OEM. They last a longggg time too. I highly recommend this especially on a daily driver car.
