If anyone in the Austin Texas wants to buy my stock Bridgestone Potenza S001L's I'll happily sell them but otherwise my plan is to burn out the rears and go buy Michelin PS4S tires or whatever is out at that time. I currently run sticky stuff on my Supra, Yokohama Advan A052's. Before that I ran Bridgestone RE-71R's. But that is not a daily driver car. So I won't go beyond the "Max Performance" category for this car. I have the Ultra High Performance All-Season tires on the wife's 2013 IS 350 so if it snows here in Texas we have a safe car to drive in. Currently it is Continental Extremecontact DWS 06+ tires which I am happy with but the previous Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires were a little bit better.
My initial impression of these tires is they don't suck like previous OEM Bridgestone tires I have had on past cars, but we'll see if that impression changes as I do some of the things that sucked on the other tires and see how it performs.
Just crossed the 20K mark with the original ties. I'm at 7/32 on the fronts and 5/32 on the rears. For those that have gone with performance all-seasons, do they have more traction than the Potenzas?
Man sounds like I need to do a cross country road trip a few times. I don't think I've driven 20k miles in the last 3 years.

Thanks for the comparison. I always went with Michelin unless I was forced to get a Continental due to weird sizing.
If that doesn't work, just know the section widths on the tires are the same, but the Michelins have 0.9 inches more tread width than the Bridgestones.
New here with an IS 500 coming in a couple weeks. Basically if i want to go a bit wider front and rear with Michelin tires, 245/35 front and 275/35 rear ? Will a need to get a wheel alignment if i go bigger
