Default All-season tire recommendations for '16 IS 350 F Sport

I recently brought in my '16 IS 350 F Sport AWD for maintenance and the front tires were at 4/32 tread and the rear tires were at 7/32. I am looking to replace them and was wondering if I could get some suggestions on a good but economical set of tires I should look into? I am looking to spend less than $1000 (hoping to max at $800 if at all possible) to replace the set. I am probably going to head into my local Discount Tire if that makes any difference.Would appreciate any advice!

I bought michilen pilot sport 4+s and they are amazing in all conditions, before on the factory tire I could easily get it to slide in the rain but now it really dosent want to, and driving through pouring rain conditions the car felt great, dry grip is very very good as well, reading about these tires some people say there as good if not better then Michelin super sports.

Continental DWS06 are really great- they're priced better than Michelins and don't have the tire bubble issues

+1 For Contis DWS...I've run them for years and they're great. Excellent tire life too. One caveat, I haven't run them in snow.

I just installed the BFGoodrich G-Force Comp-2 A/S a few days ago, and I gotta say first impressions are good. Even with them being brand-new, they still feel a bit more planted than the stock Bridgestone all-seasons. Excuse the dirty wheels/car. But yeah if you are looking for something a bit more affordable than the Michelins but with good performance, I think these would do well.

I just picked up Continental DSW-06 for about $885 for 19x9 / 19x10 from Discount Tire. I haven't mounted them yet, but Continental claims they have low noise, low wear (50k miles = 25k miles for staggered), and the performance is very good.

So, I just drove on the highway for a bit. My Comp-2's are making a hum when I am going between 75 and 80 MPH. I think some people have reported hearing a hum like that with the Michelin A/S 3+ as well. Hopefully it goes away over time - maybe it's due to how new the tires are? I have probably only put 200 miles on them. But anyway, something to think about if you are considering the BFGoodrich tires. Other than that they are decently quiet.

I definitely have the HUMMM with oem Micheline A/S 3+. Took it to two different Lexus dealers for investigation. First time they spent 3hrs diagnosing and said everything is 100%, they guarantee (not brakes, or bearings). Second time they said everything's fine but there was some inner tire wear and that it prob just needs an alignment.

I'm hoping my continental DSW-06 tires are as quiet as they claim.

They're actually pretty good in the snow as well

Anyone tried the Coopers? Pretty good ratings and are a bit less expensive.

I got Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus. Love them. Quiet, better handling, less tire squeal, improved ride quality and priced well (especially when on sale at Costco with free installation).
