I remember one of the magazines mentioning Dunlops Sport Maxx on the 18" wheels. Don't be surprised if there were more than one supplier, though. Car makers like to have at least two choices for each tire size; which one you end up with is draw of the luck.

And in case you need the sizes:

IS250 AWD: 225/45VR17 front and rear, all season

Optional 18": 225/40YR18 front and 255/40YR18 rear, summer (not available with AWD)
