lmaoo! OP yeah steer clear of the OEM tires. I recommend Continental DWS06. Thats what I'm fitting my car with and my new rims. The wear rate is 60-70k miles!! that varies on how you drive of course. The OEM tires make for a harsh ride. Even after almost 19k on them they have some life left but i feel like I'm on coilovers because i feel every imperfection on the road with them. Also stay on top of tire pressure for longer tire life

Ugly reviews

if you want a good daily driving summer tire. Sumitomo HTR III were good. I had them on my 06 IS350 and they lasted 25k miles. Price is good too

For reference one of the best street summer tires you can get - Michelin Pilot Super Sports are the same price as the OEMs

When it's time to change my Bridgestones I think I'm going to go with BFG G-FORCE COMP-2 A/S
Great reviews, 400 tread wear, awesome performance in rain and quiet!

In case it isn't clear by now, DO NOT BUY STOCK TIRES. Always try to upgrade. Especially on the 3is, the Bridgestones that come on them are TERRIBLE. By far the worst tires I have ever owned and almost cost me my life. No, thank you, Lexus.

Unfathomable how Lexus Japan cheapens out on one of the most important features on a $50K car. Absolutely junk tires, these Bridgestones. One of mine exploded at 6K miles. I got rid of the rest and replaced them with Michelin AS/3.
I'll always associate Bridgestone with Firestone. They're the same company. Bad rep.
