I had these tires for a couple of seasons for the most part they have been great in the snow and cold. My only complaint was that one day we had very slushy snow fall and the car slipped a lot on the freeway driving 30-40 mph.
yup. I’ve had thathappen last year when it was just slush. This will be the 3rd winter on these, so may look for an upgrade for next year
The PA4s are a bit more performance oriented so I expect their dry winter performance is better than say the X-Ice or Blizzaks but the latter beat them in snow and on ice.

Agreed that x-ice and Blizzaks would probably perform better than the Alpin 4s. Though I've heard great things about the Alpin 5s over on the G80 forums in the snow. I think tyre reviews concluded that the Alpin 5s are the best winter tires available currently.
Quick update - I've had the IS500 for 3 weeks now and last night was another snow dump here.
I can confirm that it handles perfectly fine with the Continental winter tires... Snow mode, traction and stability aids with LSD make for a safe and controlled drive.
Hi, Kumchiguy123, may I ask which dealership you bought your car from?. Was it Lexus on the park? Just curious, I sold my LE in September and bought the RCF Final Edition
