That's EXACTLY it! We're NOT trying to be rude but you gotta do a bit of research before you make big purchases.

i am having more problems with my front tires rubbing ...

because they rub everyday when i make sharp turns...

rear tires rarely scrape only when I hit bumps...

i don't hit bumps daily only rarely...but I take turns daily and my front rubs on these sharp turns

Never heard a regular IS have such wide tires. Only an F. Well, if they're on their way good luck and let us know how it goes. Is his lowered and do you plan to lower yours?

Rollin a 2010 IS 250 and just put the hankooks on my ride.. 245/30-20 up front and 275/30-20 in the rear.. fronts rub plastic a little but that will just take a little adjusting.. 275's no problem.. rides great..

If you got the V12s they are awesome but IMO, 295s are OVER KILL for the IS

Lol I know I'm right I've done it before. On my current setup I'm running 225/30 and 255/30 which is a stretch look and I'm at least 1.5-2 inches lower than you are and I'm don't rub rear at all plus I'm running a more aggressive offset... That 295 you are still going to rub the same or even more with it

v12 are ok, Until you throw on super sports then you realize why v12s are significantly cheaper.

i have V12s right now and i put 15k miles before i had to flip em due to camber wear. I was too late to flip the rears and now the wires are showing plus a hole on the sidewall. and I still daily the car driving 70 miles a day, so if you ask me if they're good, I don't think every tire brand can do that. LoL

I have Hankook Ventus V12 Evo on my car and I really like them. For the price they are a very good tire compared to others in the same price range.
