Any recommendation on the summer tires? My stock tire is Yokohama BluEarth EA51, I have no idea of what is it, I have been using Michelin PSS on my F30 BMW, it has excellent dry and wet performance but the ride comfort and road noise is terrible not sure if this is because of BMW poor noise isolation. But I am just not sure how is it compared to the Lexus stock tire in terms of noise and comfort level. (Being a owner of IS250, I dont have any requirement on performance :P )

I have Conti DWS and they ride like glass I don't track or beat on my car so a little softer sidewall(which is the big complaint on these tires) is fine with me. I agree about dropping the car with 19s.

I do like those tires but man are they weak... I broke the sidewall on 3 different tires over the course of ownership having those with the dreaded sidewall bubble.
They're not really aftermarket... But they're not really stock either. It was either these or some 57xtremes and I opted for a forged, subtle OEM look.

Nice wheel choice- I've heard those wheels are SUPER rare. Is ur IS lowered at all?

Looking good.. Got any side shots?
I'll get some more shots and post 'em up when I can. That's all I've got at the moment.

Thanks, man I really fell for them when I saw them. It's not lowered yet. I'm actually happy with how the rear sits stock... but the front looks pretty awful high so I'm either going to get some springs that are lower in the front like Hotchkis (though they seem to be nonexistent) or wait and buy coilovers like the J5s
