Default Recommended Tires

I ordered and install Michelin PS2s after a year with 25,000 miles with the stock Bridgestone Turanza ER33. What a difference it made! I have never remember my IS running so quiet on the freeway as well as local roads. Yes, they are pricey. But if you have the money, it is well worth the investment.

RE040 or RE050? Do you have the Pole Positions? I was about to get those. But I've seen more recommendations for the Michelins from the threads.

RE040 pole positions and i love em. i used to rock these on my is300 then when i got my audi s6 i got toyo T1R and i love those tires too. personally i say go with the potenzas or T1R over the pilots but all 3 are great and the toyos will be the easiest on the wallet and have superb dry weather performance!

I just got a set of 19" General Exclaim UHP, so far they have been really good, gotta be the best tires for the money. I had Bridgestone Potenza S-03 on my M3, they're the best tires I've ever used, but they run out so quickly.
