That will certainly do it. LOL. The OEM tires are pretty shady to be begin with.

A friend of mine spotted a Molten Pearl IS 500 at a gas station in the KC metro area.

I saw a IS350 with Special Appearance package but only from behind on the freeway today. Gotta admit, it looked sharp esp with that black roof. Best looking car on the road by far. But I couldn't help but think what kind of person buys the 350 SA package and decides they cant spend another $10k for the IS500.

I finally saw an IS 500 in the wild going south on Red Bud through the Paloma Lake subdivision in Round Rock. It looked like it was Cloudburst gray. I was heading north at that moment but in the wife's 2013 IS 350 of course. The one time I see an IS 500 I am not in mine.

I saw today a white IS 500 in Round Rock on 79 near the Dell Diamond stuck in traffic. I blasted by the opposite way in mine. Looked good! This is only the second time I have spotted one in the wild but first time I was in my IS 500! Not sure if the person is here on the forums.

Incognito (?) in Coral Gables area heading north with yellow tint on DRLs.

I think this is the third IS500 I've seen in the wild so far. This area has a lot of IS F, GS F, and LC500, but very few IS500.

A local friends buddy in Houston sent us this today. That is a Unicorn because it is Grecian Water.

So you're in Michigan, he's in Houston, but this picture is from California?
