Tires
Would like some help on buying some new tires for you IS250 RWD. I currently have the Dunlop 18 but these tires do not last that long at all. Checked on Tirerack.com and these came out also
Bridgestone Potenza RE050. or Dunlop SP Sport Maxx A. Are these tires going to have the same life spand of the OEM? (15000) that means i will have to change tires every year ?? ever heard of these (Avon Tech M550 A/S) they are W rated so i guess would last longer. and from $115 for these and $177 for the Bridgestone is it worth it?

Treadwear indicates the longevity of the tire. The greater the treadwear, the longer the life. IE 400 treadwear will last longer but will not grip as well
IE, the stock dunlops have 220 treadwear. I would expect them to last 20K miles.
I would say look for Michelin pilot sport A/S tires, if you can afford them. THey have a 400 treadwear, and should last a very long time.
