Question. My wife has a 2023 IS350 F-Sport RWD. She works from home most days but has to go into the office a day or two a week. We live in the Northeast where it's cold/wet in the winter. Was wondering if I should replace the summer tires with all season. What does everyone think? The AWD does come with all season tires so I was thinking of getting the same ones. I would appreciate any advice.

 

It is probably a good idea. Anything below 40 degrees F is no-go territory for most summer tires. But, I would NOT recommend going with the all-season tires from the AWD IS 350. Literally ANY aftermarket option will be better. The OE Bridgestone Turanzas are overpriced compared to aftermarket options and generally have poor user reviews online. You can even go for a top-tier Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4 for similar money as those original tires, and the Michelins are well-loved by owners here on the forums. The Continental DWS06+ is also a really great option - slightly less expensive than the Michelins and better for snow.

 

Thanks for the quick response. I went with the Falken Azenis FK460's. Great reviews and price was good. Installation this Saturday.

 

I have these on my IS. Great tires, especially for the price.

 

Great to hear. Thank you.
