2007 IS 250 w/18" Stock OEM Bridgestone Turanza's.

These tires came with the car when I bought it new. They starting making noise around at about 17k miles. Now, at 19.5k miles, it's a deafening roar.

The rear tires appear to be fine. Should I replace the entire set, or just the two front tires? I don't plan on buying Bridgestone again.

How much in 32'nds, is left on the other 2? If its very little, it would probably be good to change all 4 and go far away from those crappy ER33's !
If you dont have staggered sizes like I do, the Bridgestone Potenza RE960's are the best ever according to the Tire Rack test here, and by my personal testing on our BMW..
If you have staggered sizes, unfortunately they dont make both sizes, and you have also expressed a desire to stay away from Bridgestones anyway..

I recently put Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons, and when they are not on concrete freeways, they are dead quiet in the IS350.. Handling and sticking on wet roads is great, like almost all Michelins are good for.

The Lexus dealer sells these too, but they would be probably way more marked up than you could findat either Tire Rack or Discount Tire..

You are in Mass, right, so snow is in your future, plan accordingly, let us know if we can help..

get an alignment too, rotate the tires more often if you don't have staggered sizes...
