Default All-season Tire recommendations for IS350.

New club member and first-time post. Does anyone have recommendations for an all-season tire? I know these are performance vehicles but I'm not wanting to spend $1200 plus for a set of tires. I have the factory staggered 18s. Thanks in advance.

I just swapped my Hankook S1 Noble 2s (lasted 53k miles! ) they are A/S but handled like summers and were super quiet. I loved those tires. But at my last service my tires were near the end of their life.

I went with Yokohama Advan A/S Sports this time around recommended by the dealer who didn't carry the Hankook anymore. They actually gave me a great deal on the yokos about 100 bucks less than a local tire shop. Paid less than 800 bucks staggered and mounted balanced etc.

Well I have about 1000 miles on the yokos and they aren't as good as the Hankook. They are quiet but a little louder than the Hankook and they are much stiffer. Also they don't grip as well in the dry or wet as the Hankook. I don't know if they would last 50k+ miles either.

So I recommend the Hankook S1 Noble 2s. They are great tires. Super quiet. Great handling and reasonably priced plus they lasted a long time. The yokos are just ok.

I'll throw in a vote for BF Goodrich G-Force Comp 2 A/S.
Very pleased with the year round performance. They have 16 or 18k miles on them now.

Bridgestone Potenza AS3.

Sometimes I wonder if the Michelins were better. But happy with current tires.
