#47 of 76 Re: IS 250 AWD Tires? [piason] by piason Jan 17, 2007 (2:05 pm)
Replying to: piason (Jan 16, 2007 10:43 am) How about the is250 AWD? All four tires are the same size and I would think you should be able to rotate them. How many miles are we getting out of the AWD tires?
#48 of 76 18" Bridgestone tires on my '07 IS250 by jyun Feb 15, 2007 (10:03 am)
Hey folks,   I noticed that some of you had Dunlop tires on your 18" wheels for your IS, while I have the Bridgestones. Any reason for this? Is one better than the other? An thoughts on a good set of replacements for these 18" wheels? I live in Seattle (rains quite a bit) and I'm looking for something with good wet/dry traction..   Thanks guys Replies to this message: carmonkey (Feb 20, 2007 5:05 pm)

I picked up my car yesterday in Southern Ca. - my car had the 18" summer tires and they were Bridgestone as well!

Replying to: jyun (Feb 15, 2007 10:03 am) There's a good article reprinted from Car & Driver on the Tirerack.com site and it rates various tires including the Dunlop SportMaxx. Check out http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tests/testDisplay.jsp?ttid=69   The GoodYear Eagle F1 is the top rated tire for wet performance.   Personally, I'm planning on replacing my Dunlop SportMaxx tires in April with Michelin Pilot Sports through Costco. But I'm in a fairly dry part of Texas.

Replying to: ajmtbm (Sep 04, 2006 8:38 am) I have 23K+ miles on my '06 IS 250 and I'm in the market now for a new set of tires. Treadwear indicators are not quite at the "replace" level but I'm starting my search now. I consider this good as I'd heard that I'd be lucky to get 12-15K miles. Breaks are still fine too, and I do a lot of city driving. Replies to this message: ajmtbm (May 11, 2007 4:45 pm)

Replying to: carhunter3 (Apr 30, 2007 6:39 pm) what tires do you have?   what is your driving style?   i am nervous about the brake and tire life being short - anyone had other experiences regarding when they changed theirs   also - anyone have info on how much a brake job costs?
#55 of 76 tire noise by tolbert Jun 09, 2007 (7:11 am)
Tire noise is awful on my 07 IS250, 10,ooo miles. Lexus replaced the front ones at 4000 miles. Noise is back. I have the bridgestones. I am fighting with them now on what to do. Any suggestions? Replies to this message: carhunter3 (Jun 09, 2007 3:45 pm)

Replying to: tolbert (Jun 09, 2007 7:11 am) Have them put on the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx's. Mine have almost 26K miles on them and I'm thinking about replacing them with the same tire. Actually, I have the road hazard warranty and just had one replaced through the warranty...ran over a finishing nail and it's kind of near the sidewall where it can't be patched...so now we only have to buy 3 instead of 4 (and at over $200/tire that's quite a savings). The Dunlop is quiet and wears well and also has awesome wet traction. I live in Florida so I know all about wet traction. Actually we just came through a bad rainstorm coming through Orlando and even with so little tread left, I never felt unsure with the Dunlops. Of course, if you're in the north where u have snow, these would not be the tire for u.
