I have the Dunlop Sport 5000's on my GS I just got, I did not think they were all that bad driving on them, a little noisy, but I looked up the reviews and they are one of the worst rated tires on tirerack especially for noise, treadlife, wear, and snow/wet traction. Some say they are flat out dangerous in snow and even rain. I'll be getting Conti Extreme Contacts DWS 06 when they wear or if they become unacceptable.
The Dunlop SP Sport 5000 are a very old
tire. So old i had them on my LS400 lol. They’re not so bad, but they don’t last long and do get scary slick.

Yes, AWD, black on black, Luxury package, Cold Weather Package, few others like power trunk closer, parking assist, rear heated seats. I got a great deal on it and needing to replace the tires was something I negotiated to get the price further down.

New tires are awesome!
Just picked up my GS350 F-sport from DT and drove it down the freeway and back and couldn't believe
how much quieter the car road noise is now. Slight hum/tire whine @ 50 mph and gone by 60mph, but not too bad.
The 245 and 275 up size looks like it gives a little more tire sticking out from the rim(very slight), but will help if you get too close to a curb parking.
NO rubbing and I even have a chin spoiler wrapped around the front.
They look great to me and are an all season, so will last longer (50k mileage warranty).

I haven’t seen any Hankook Ventus V12 EVO2’s on the GS forum? I ran them on my Infiniti’s and IS350 for hundreds of thousands of miles (EVO 2’s are somewhat newer).
Anyone else ran these? They’ve been all I’ve bought for years and years, because they perform, and work great - but am I missing something?
I have a lead-foot, and blew through rear tires on the IS350 every 12K Miles, so cost in the rear - is a concern for me.
sidenote - all opinions are welcome ASAP because in 16hrs I get new 20” Vossens with Hankook shoes put on LOL ;-)
