hey guys,

my car will need tires as soon as i get it. Which tires would be the best pick for a reasonable price. I really want a smooth, quiet ride with the tires having really good tread life since i will be driving it all the time. BTW my car will be a IS250 AWD

Are you looking for all season tires? Just search on Tire Rack and see what you like

Continental ExtremeContact DWS are pretty good for the money. ($484.00 for a set of 4)

Just ordered a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus from TireRack. I believe they come with a 45k mile warranty. Getting them mounted Friday, from the reviews I've read they should be decent.

FYI if you are getting the car from a dealership then they have to provide tires with a certain amount of tread left. They cannot send you out with dangerous tires. Or without a spare.

+1 on the Michelin Pilot Sports. They look good with a low profile and do have a decent hardness to the rubber.

If you prefer a summer tire rather than an all season, I'd also recommend the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110. Great tire, and tread life is pretty good for a maximum performance tire.

Got these in January from Costco. Much better than OEM Bridgestones.

I am looking at getting the Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season. Since you can't rotate these tires, treadlife is almost as important as performance. I want at least 350 UTQG (treadwear rating), and the eagle is 400. The Continental DWS is 540, but that sounds to me like it would be too hard and not grip well. The DWS stands for Dry Wet Snow, and in Atlanta, I really don't need Snow. So I thought I might go with the DW, which is softer (340 UTQG).

I don't like my current Bridgestone Potenzas, and I've also looked at the Falken FK 452, even though it's only 300 UTQG. The Michelin pilot sport does get rave reviews, but is higher than I wanted to go.

I have these tires as well and I like them.

Would I really need the All Seasons since its AWD already. I have All Seasons on my GS and it really helps in the winter but do I really need it on an AWD?

No, its not from a dealer. Im buyin it from my cousin. He's ran 50k on the dealership tires and there in really bad shape right now, so as soon as i get it i have to change the tires.

Yeah, you should still probably go with all seasons. Summer tires are useless in any kind of winter conditions, regardless of drivetrain. The issues is both temperature and traction. Colder temperatures reduce the coefficient of grip on your summer tires as the rubber loses it's sticky properties. Combined with icy roads and snowy conditions, it won't help you.

I've seen people bust out the summer tires even on dry roads when it was too cold out and the results have been well... expensive to repair.

Unless you have a second set of wheels for winter, do yourself and your car the favour and go with all seasons.

Good luck with the car!
