I'm sure that'll be fine as long as the wheels clear the brakes.

You don't need a XL rated tire. I am running those exact Michelin Alpin PA4 in 235/40/R19 and 265/35/R19 in the rear with no issues.

Happy New Year everyone. I've been pleased with Continental DWS06 on previous vehicles, so I'm giving the DWS06 Plus a try with the IS500. They've provided a nice compromise between speed, luxury, handling, and weather. The front & rear sizes have very similar ratings, so I think they'll be a good fit.

I had those on my STI, and loved em. Good luck finding them for the IS 500. I couldn’t find any around me. Not even on Tire Rack.

Same story on Discount Tire, too. There are not too many options for IS 350/500 right now unfortunately. Hopefully more will come out - the car is still fairly fresh.

Will the Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season's work for winter driving in Iowa or should I get dedicated snow tires?

I grew up in Cedar Rapids. I would not recommend all-season tires for Iowa winters.

@lobuxracer I live in Marion and I too agree with not driving with A/S tires. I've got winter tires being installed, but unfortunately there's none of the PA4's in a full set available anywhere near us or online. I'm having to get the Continental winters

I run PS4S most of the year in a 2018 RWD 350 and am trying the Michelin CrossClimate2 this winter in Seattle. We get mostly rain and 45 F, but also tend to get some weeks of 15-25 F weather. They worked beautifully in combination with the limited slip during our recent blizzard. Many drives to the airport and up and down hills. Been having fun driving the icy mountain passes since then. My open-dif 2016 RWD with PSAS3+ couldn't get across a parking lot without resorting to floor mats during last year's blizzard.

Hi, im shopping winter tires for LE:
I can find Michelin Alpin PA4 235/40R19, but could not find 265/35/R19, do you have any links?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried Discount Tire?

I run the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 on my E55 AMG and love them. Tread life is decent, wet and snow traction is great and dry performance is still grippy enough for aggressive driving.

I went from a 21' STI to a IS500 I also owned a 19' STI. For the STI's I was running Pirelli Winter Sottozero ii.

I'm on the Westcoast of Canada, I went through a local shop called R/T Tires but they source them from elsewhere. Mine were $1700 Canadian pesos (tires only).
