Jet Driver Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Time to replace the Potenza's on my '07 IS250. I was never impressed with these tires, so does anyone have any recommedations besides Bridgestone? Goodyear Eagles? I need a good tire that won't cost a fortune and will last another 12mos/15000 miles until my lease terms. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney07 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Well, here's a Tire Rack comparison of the OEM tires on the IS250AWD. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compare1.jsp...&loadRank=2 We have the Dunlops, and according to Tire Rack they are less than 1/2 the price of the Potenza's! In my opinion, they Dunlops are great tires! Doesn't look like you have AWD tho...lot's of help I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Driver Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 Thanks for the link. I probably should have given a little more info. It is RWD with the 18" tires. Seems in my area that Discount Tires is about the only option. I've checked everywhere and they have the best prices by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafiki Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I did not like the OEM Potenzas. Lots of noise after 10K miles and no way to rotate. So I replaced them with a set of Nitto INVO tires. They are extremely quite, and non-directional so I can rotate them side to side. My set has 24K miles on them and they are still very quite. I estimate 35 - 40K tread life based on the wear so far. Handling is good. I inflate them to +4 psi over the recommended pressure. This gives me similar handling response to the OEM tires. Take a look at the Nitto INVO tire, I like them and will buy another set when it time to get new tires on my IS250. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
