I just got new rear tires for my '06 IS350-- the preivous one were worn down to slicks. I replaced my fornt tires at the end of August 2013--- my guess is about 20-25K miles on them. Also had a front end alignment when had the rear tires installed, last Saturday. Ever since I got the new tires the car has been pulling both to the left and right-- not a real hard pull, but the sterring, especially at higher speeds 55+ MPH is a lot worse than before I got the new tires.
Do I need to also get new front tires? there is a decent amount of tread left on my fronts, but the car now handles like garbage.

maybe you also need new front tire or try rotate and balance front. Different brand name tire sometime have different design.

Thanks, I think the fronts are directional tires. They are a different brand from the rears.

I was leaning towards getting new front tires-- they will be the same brand as the new rears, currently the fronts are a different brand.

How much did they have to adjust on the alignment? I am suspecting that your front tires have inner tire wear (typical on our cars) and the wear patten is causing the problem. Check the front tires for abnormal wear pattern. IMHO, You are probably better of with a new matching pair for the fronts.
