clay1 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I do 80% Highway driving in a non-aggressive manner - anyone know how many miles I can expect to get on the stock 17" tires? I drive 2500-3000 miles a month. Also anyone have an idea of how much I will pay for those tires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrobsea Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I just got an unrepairable flat. Luckily I didn't need to replace all 4 tires as the others only have about 2500 miles. The treadwear difference was within whatever tolerance they consider acceptable to prevent tearing up the AWD system. I have the Dunlop 17" SP Sport 5000 tires. The Lexus dealer wanted about 220+tax for one tire installed. The local Goodyear charged about 160+tax. I haven't heard the best things about these Dunlop tires. I think they are 'performance' tires, which are intended for good handling and stopping on dry roads, but not designed for high mileage. If you race your IS, maybe it's the right tire, but I plan to replace them with something designed to last longer, and get better traction on wet/snowy roads once they wear out.
