i don't what to say but my 2015 IS350 Fsport OEM tires from Factory 69,000k on the clock and tires tread still have a lot, i replaced all 4 because 1 rear has a crack and 1 in the front has been patched, they were still good just little noise and has a lot of tread left like 65-70%. i can't comment on this because different road different driving style.

Has to be kilometers. No way the stock tires could make it 69k miles. Even 43k kilometers is hard to believe unless the guy drives ONLY in eco mode.

True that OEM IS tires are crap. But, I have 17k on mine, and they have plenty of life left. I can probably est. getting a min of 30k miles on them. The tread life really depends on how you drive, and where you drive.
I do have to say I do NOT have confident in throwing the car in corners with these tires, they are far from sticky. I once almost slide into a rail because it was raining.. but then again.. I was going like 80mph lol

check your inner side of the front tires. Mine looked completely fine until i took them off to check the brakes and the inner 1" were completely bald. My rears are fine though. I have approximately 17k miles on it. If it wasnt for the inner wear i could have gone over30k miles.

Mine too! This was my favorite car. It's a 2017. Had it serviced yesterday at 17k miles......We were told that the tires on the IS Fsport requires new tires every 17-20k miles.....that came from our service manager. I love my car, but we will NOT replace tires every 17-20k miles.
And don't drive aggressive? Isn't that the fun/sport of the F Sport package? LOVE my car and how it drives, but this tire problem is unacceptable.

I've been running BFGoodrich G-Force Comp-2 A/S on my IS for 9,000 miles, and they still have about 7/32" of tread (from a starting depth of 9/32").

Mines are just about done, I'm down to 4/32' right before my lease ending in a few days and I'm at 18k miles on them. I agree, unacceptable. Almost like having to change tires every year if you drive a lot. That's one thing I didn't like about this car, eats tires and brakes like nothing.
