Tires tires tires
Texas girl looking for some recommendations. My baby 2015 IS 250 F sport is needing new wheels. Any recommendations? I drive mostly city but like my drives out to the country as well. Any feedback is appreciated.

Super Sports are awesome and I will get those when the stock Turanza's run out.
They're stickier than normal and have a shorter lifespan, but that's always the tradeoff when it comes to tire grip.

Awesome between this info and internet help it looks like the continental control contact sport AS give me some of the recommended specs at a better deal price wise. Looks like I may lean towards that unless anyone has any objections towards continental.
Thank you all for the help. So glad I found this space!

Don't confuse Control Contact tires with the Extreme Contact

I've always had good luck with Yokohama S Drives. They don't wear out as fast as Michelins Pilots. Sure the pilots may be better on the track or have better grip, btu it's short lived. And that sweet spot is very narrow in terms of longevity. Not to mention, your wallet. Yokohamas are cheaper, look nice, and will last longer than the Michs. Something to consider.

Yes those seem to meet the needs. The Conti control contact at discount was the best deal, second to Yokohamas. Which I asked about (Yokohama's) as I've had a set in a different car and liked them very much but I was told those may be discontinued so was not sure what to make of that.
