My apologies for hijacking, but do you guys have thoughts on Hankook Ventus V12 Evo2s? I planned on getting those when I burned through my current pair, but I keep hearing about the PSS.

I was thinking that, go with what other Lexus drivers experienced rather than a shop who keeps pushing Hankook or Yokohama.

I currently have the Bridgestone RE760S which someone did mention earlier.

I'm thinking of going with the Bridgestone Potenza RR760 Sport

If you intend to stay in California, I suppose you wouldn't need the All Season version, so you should be fine with the Michelin pilot super aports.
Just switched from the stock EL400s to a set of DWS06... They are MUCH softer than the stock tire, so I would recommend against them if you don't want to hurt the car's handling. I haven't figured out what I'm doing just yet as I've got a year left on a lease and throwing away $800 in tires seems crazy.

I just replaced all my stock tires on the IS to the michelin pilot super sport all season tires. What a huge difference in handling. Get it.

i just needed two new front on my 2014 because of uneven wear. Found the oem bridgestones el-400 on amazon for 51% OFF, paid 113 for each. this price was only eligible for prime members. but take a look. 225/40r18

nevermind, the special seems to be gone. i should have scooped up a bunch... damn
