It's time to replace my stock tires on my IS. I got 38,000 miles out of my Dunlops that are on right now and have the extreme inner tire wear that other people have mentioned.

I am looking for an all season tire, any recommendations? Right now I am looking at
BFGoodrich g-Force Super Sport A/S
HANKOOK VENTUS V4 ES H105
CONTINENTAL ExtremeContact DWS

Any opinions on either, or maybe a different brand. I'd like them to last atleast 30k before replacing so nothing softer than my dunlops.

If I were getting tires today I would get the Bridgestone Pole Position RE960A/S.

Getting the Conti extremecontact DWS this friday. Had severe inner tire wear after 24000 miles on bridgestone turanza. Will update once i get them installed.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I highly recommend these tires to anyone for whatever there driving needs may be. It was nice to be able to hook up perfectly at the track and get an amazing 60', and tear through the canyons then have a nice smooth quiet ride when I was done.

*but I cant tell you how long they will last... I put 30,000 on my car and have gone through 5 sets of tires

So you're telling us they will last only 6k miles? Do you track your car every weekend?

i've used my fronts on v12s for about 13 month now.. i drive hard sometimes but i still have some threads left... at least 30%
For the price i think Hankook v12 are good

I'm having this same problem with my new tires (Kumho Ecsta SPT's), I'm 90% highway miles and I just bought a second set after 21K miles because the insides were practically bald. Maybe it's a wide+flat tread thing, the car wants a skinnier tread? My stock front's only lasted ~17K but they were 140 treadwear...

I would recommend you to try the Sumitomo HTR ZIII. Pretty good high performance tire and it has a tread wear rating of 300. I have them for my fronts and I can't wait to get rid of the crappy OEM Bridgestone Turanza ER33 rear tires . That tire is crap.

The front inner tire wear is due to the factory toe setting. Get that fixed when you get it aligned and the problem goes away.
