Tire Rating

Hey I am looking for new tire since my rears are almost at 0 tread. Im driving a IS250 and currently slam and a little bit of stance. What tire brand would you guys recommend?

Also I wouldn't recommend my tire to anyone.
Bridgestone Potenza RE050A.

Anyone have any clue on hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 review or rating of them?

Thanks

Here is a comparison that Car & Driver did with a bunch of performance tires vs. Michelin PS2's. Overall, the Hankooks performed just as good and in some categories, even better than the Michelin PS2's.

Michelin PS2 A/S

I put on a set of Michelin PS2 A/S on my '06 IS250 AWD. Everything is mainly stock on the car (running 17" stock rims) and since I'm in MN, I need a quality all-season tire that would provide excellence performance in the summer and still be decent in the winter snow, as well as last for 40k miles, so I went with 'the best'...but of course you pay a premium for it. I'm a satisfied customer though and like the traction you get on wet roads as well as a quiet ride IMO. I highly recommend the Michelin PS2s.

The OP is in CA so I doubt he drives in the snow... summer performance tires will always be better than all-seasons outside of snow/freezing conditions, and the Hankooks outperform the summer PS2s for half the price (and more significantly outperform the all-season ones).
