The wheel really is something special. Especially now that for 2023 there is no way for anyone to get the wood trim on the door panels or the steering wheel.

Well I’m sure you could if you went that route, but steering wheel alone is $1500+

Happy Place, this is how you know the car is meant for you. Always buy one that makes you feel like that…

Glad you have it back and that saga is over!

Totally. On center feels tighter, and overall it feels like there's less delay in the steering. Ride is great, and tread noise is a medium tone rather than a low tone like the Potenza. Honestly the steering sharpness is even better than expected.

I had those on my last IS, and they were a great performing tire that lasted long. But I didn't like the look of the side treads wrapping around the edges and becoming more visible than what most stock IS's had. Now I hear Michelin redesigned the tire, but haven't been able to confirm that in person. In your images, they look a lot like the old ones, with maybe a slightly less aggressive tread wrapping around the edges. Comments? Confirm? I'm due for new tires...
