Default 2009 IS350 with Continental Extreme DWS - stock wheels review

Hello,
Just thought I would share with you all that I just got these on this week and love them. With that in mind, please know that I got 28500 miles on Bridgestone Turenza's. Ended up having major wear on the inside fronts and a nail in the rear which caused me to have to replace them all. We are expected to have snow here this weekend. I will get out and test it as soon as it makes landfall. So check back and see how it goes. Took some random shots tonight and here is a little review for you. (by the way, better shots on request)

1. Road noise and feel: So far, they are really actually pretty comfortable to drive on. I drive 10 miles on a curvy highway twice a day and noticed that I really wish I had them on the whole original 28.5K miles.

2. Grip and handling: They were soft in the rear at first - 41psi. Then I moved it up to 46psi on the rears, leaving the fronts at 41 and voila! Tight as the Bridgestones were.

3. Snow and wet: pending .....

4. Looks and appeal: I have had them 3 days and have had 3 people tell me they are pretty sporty and aggressive looking. In my mind, that is a good start. Personally, I think they look great.

5. Price: I paid a little over 800 for all 4 installed with warranty.

Hope to not bore everyone, being my first post and all.
Thanks for reading though and happy driving!
