F-sport front tire replacement
I know this has been discussed but I need new front tires for my 14' IS350 AWD F-sport.
The dealer wants $310 /ea for the stock bridgestones or $210 /ea for Hankook tires that are comparable. These prices are super high so i figured I'd buy my own tires and bring them to him. He said $20 a tire install. Fine with me.
What should I get? The Hankook's he was suggesting can be gotten on discounttire for $102 /ea but I'm thinking something of better quality. Stock Bridgestone Turenza for $203 /ea or something comparable in price. Any help is appreciated. I'm on coils, i like to take turns fast but i also hate too much road noise.

That's my rant: avoid the Turanzas.

I went with Micheline Pilot A/S3+ as my OEM replacements. I would definitely upgrade to a UHP all season, if I were you. The Turanzas are crap.

Hankooks are fine--and even good or as good as OEMs or better. They're standard equipment on many new cars nowadays.

I wanted to get Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s when I got my tires replaced, but they didnt have it available at the time. I paid 700ish to get 3 replaces. I got Bridgestone Potenza RE760, since they came with the car when I bought it. Heres a screenshot from tirerack

Curious why you don't go to Costco (buy/mount/ & I think they also align)?
I get coupons sometimes $70 rebate on Michelin and Bridgstone tires when you buy 4. Could save the extra $80 for bringing your own tires, plus whatever labor amount they charging you. (I'm sure Costco labor rate is cheaper as well)

Been on my Michelin PSS and i find them to be very harsh though grippy, i can feel every bumps and road markings. Been thinking to get more comfort-oriented tires, any recommendations for 235/35/19? I'm on square setup. Read that Pirelli P7 and the Goodyear F1 AS3 are more comfort-oriented, how true is that?

I was looking to see what tires I wanted, but then I found a brand new set of Turanza's on brand new stock rims for $1000 Canadian so I get to start over with these mediocre tires lol.
