Mine came with Dunlop SP Sport 5000, but Dealer and I swapped them with Bridgestone RE92's.
Yes, the RE 92's are not so great, but the SP5000 is horrible. Vibration all the way and jittery.
And yes, I have owned and driven sport tuned cars for the past 7 years ('00 323Ci sport tuned), and I know how a sport car should ride. All Dunlops that I have tired so far (3 sets: SP2000, SP5000, HS-2) just feel very out of round.

Picked up my IS250 a week ago Saturday from Newport Lexus, Newport Beach, California. The car has 18 inch rims shod with Bridgestone RE050, 225/40 front & 255/40 rear. Dealer had them pumped up to 41 psi which made them ride really harsh. After reducing the psi to factory specs (35/37) the now ride decent.
