I'm currently running these on my car 18". They look great and is sticky in both wet and dry condition. It's a lot quieter than the stock, but is still loud on certain roads. I would recommend this set. I don't drive aggressive, but am sure these can handle fast turns without loosing grip.

i have them on my car as well (not an is350 though). i only put 1k miles so far, but pretty good tires for the value imo.

i had heard from a guy with a m3, the weight savings in the PS2 over the RE poles makes a big difference.
