And it lists, the OE are the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A unless you have the Dunlop. But mine are the Bridgestone.

So, with that being said, anybody know of all season tires for this car yet?

I feel like I'm spinning tires here. (Ba dump bump ching!)
You can always go with a manual config and pick your own tire size for all seasons

Something that not many owners of the IS and RC know -

The IS and RC has slightly NEGATIVE camber on the rear. Therefore it is completely NORMAL to get inner edge wear

Changing tyres won't solve it as its built into the car - same thing will happen with any tyre

You might be right about the negative camber, my rear tires after 13k miles. Brand new pair installed. This time i wont turn the ESC off as much
