I am looking for an all season tire, any recommendations? Right now I am looking at
BFGoodrich g-Force Super Sport A/S
HANKOOK VENTUS V4 ES H105
CONTINENTAL ExtremeContact DWS

Any opinions on either, or maybe a different brand. I'd like them to last atleast 30k before replacing so nothing softer than my dunlops.
If you like the Dunlops, they came out with a new version with Kevlar reinforcement that are supposed to be pretty good.

had the alignment done at lexus and came back without any alignment issues. I dont know what is wrong. Maybe the factory setting is meant for inner tire wear in the front. Anyone with more info?

This problem is widely reported by 2IS owners- it's the toe setting.

I really need to replace my tires asap... and i wanted the CONTINENTAL ExtremeContact DWS tires but they apparently are on back order forever. I guess im just going to order what I currently have on my car, the dunlop sport 5000's. I havent had any issues with them and they lasted me 38k miles. I waited almost 2 weeks hoping the DWS's would show up somewhere.
