I agree with laobo that continental they bubble up easy. I've gone through 4 of them already cause of bubble on the sidewall. Be very careful cause if you hit any pothole, you might have a bubble.
It's a shame since they are the best bang for the buck all-season for the AWD IS250. In MN it last me all through winter as well.

I am just about to replace my Continental ExtremeContact DWS, because of un-repairable flat on my 06 IS250RWD. So far, almost 50k on them and if it wasn't for the flat, I could have used them for 5k more. This is for about 3 and 1/2 years of constant driving.
I am very pleased with the overall performance, traction and comfort. Especially compared to the Pirelli PZero Nero that I had before which were not good in snow and terrible road noise. The DWS were OK in snow, but I noticed it had something to do with the RWD - when I put a 50lb bag of salt in the trunk, they started performing better![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Since I lost the appetite of driving fast and having fun in mountain, curved roads, and because I am using the car mostly for work purpose (traveling to clients), I am considering the switch to the new Continental PureContact with EcoPlus Technology .
What are your thoughts?
Thanks
