I've also switched tires from 255/35, 295/30 bridgestone re050a to 255/35, 275/35 Hankook v12. Bridgestone is heavy and stiff as hell . I really do not like Hankook at all, it has a soft sidewall.
How do you like Michelin PSS ? Maybe i will switch to Mi PSS for next time.
Really?? And I have the 245/40 285/35 v12 on order. Do you have the Evo or evo2?? They said the newer evo2 had a stiffer sidewall.

Get the PSS lol, I personally think the v12 is designed for like the is250, the F needs better tires like the PSS.

Got an alignment this morning. I was gonna wash the car and take more pictures of the fitment and such after the car is dialed in. Unfortunately that my big right toe was under the alignment machine and the operator didn't realized it. My toe bone is now broken and I was bleeding quite a bit, long story short. Will post pics in a few day. Lol, I have plenty of bloody pictures of my broken toe if anyone is interested!!

No, no, no, bud! I saw enough of the gruesome look with the sandals you had on. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Take it easy! The ride looks amazing.

Lol he is a friend. No need to take it to court. I'm sure he will offer his service for free now. I won't do that though. It was my fault.
