My 2014 IS will need new tires soon and I am trying to find out what tires you have installed other than the factory stock ?
Do you feel that there may be a better all season than the factory stock ?
Something better in the form of noise level, handling and grip.

Since you're in FL like me just get summer tires. I'm probably going to go with the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 or the Pilot Super Sport. You can't go wrong with any of those.

Been hearing Michelin Pilot Super Sports are good. I'm planning to pick these up when my stock tires are gonna die.

since oyu florida

summer tires like Michelin Pilot Super sport would suffice
if not, michelin also offers wonderful All season pilot A/S 3 or something like that

another all season you can look at is like
Continental DWS (the newer version )

But I think PSS is best

I will 2nd what this poster stated regarding All-Seasons and PSS's... I live in MN and have used all 3 tires listed above on an Audi RS6 awd over a period of 8 years and 120k miles.:

---The Continental DWS had the best longevity and snow/ice grip.
---The Michelin A/S had the best wet grip and handled better than the Conti DWS's, but wore out a bit quicker. Also, the deep lugs along the sidewall made'em look too "Off-road'sh" on a sport sedan.
---The PSS's upgraded the handling and feedback of the car, but needed replacement after 16 -18k miles. (Keep in mind 4000 lb awd car w/450hp.)

Any of the 3 will be a huge improvement over the OEM crap that came on the car.... Currently running the Cont's DWS year around on the IS350 F Sport awd-----HUGE improvement over the stockers.

Of course, these are all just one guy's experience and opinions.....

some hankooks are worth looking into as well. one of my two ISs has hankook's ventus line on it and the ride quality is much better than the stock tires on my other IS.

Used to own a BMW 335i with the same tire size as the non-AWD. I had Pilot Super Sports on them and loved that tire. If you live in a warm place and the only weather the car will see is rain, i would go with the PSS. If you need an all season, go with the A/S 3s.
