i had a pair of conti DWS installed yesterday on my 350. nyc roads are terrible so i went with 245/45/18s rear instead of the stock 255/40/18s. rides great and definitely a better all around tire than the stock bridgestone's. ride noise has diminished substantially and bumps are better absorbed with the slightly higher sidewall. plus, i think they look better (slightly stretched and a bit higher so they decrease wheel gap) on stock suspension. now thinking about running 235 45 18s up front or 225 45 18

Im looking to replace the cheapo tires the lexus dealer threw on my CPO car. Was thinking of S1 Nobles. I had ventus Evo V12 k110's on my Saab before and loved them but they only last about 22k. Does anyone have experience with the S1 Nobles? And why do they have to rebuild the TPMS?

if your TPMS isn't giving you any problems then there's really no need to rebuild them.

If you are getting summer tires, 20k-22k is expected for the fronts and around 28-30k for a rears. If you do not care about grip, then get all seasons. Evos seem cheap enough.

I like the evos but would prefer more tread life hence the Nobles. I care enough about grip but I don't tear up a sharp turn or gun it on sweepers. I think i'll try the Nobles.

I did the same exact migration. PSS > HTR > Stock Bridgestone. I think the PSS improvement is very significant.

So I purchased the Sumitomo HTR ZIII expecting to get rid of my car for the 3rd gen IS350 and ended up getting a new condo. Anyways have had the tires for a little over 2 months and super impressed with them and for the price of them even better. I would suggest these tires to anyone and thank you all for the input.
