Question '07 IS250 Replacement Tires

Having been a Bridgestone fan in the past (Turanza LS-V's) but have been rather disappointed with the OE Bridgestone Turanza (EL33's?) tires on my 07 IS250. With that said, I am looking for new tires. I've read up on the Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season as well as the Eagle F1 GS-D3's. I live in SoCal so my main goals are reduced tire noise. Better wet handling would be welcome as well.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I was looking at the reviews on tirerack, but it's difficult for an apples to apples comparison as tires will behave differently on various models.

They should be the Potenza RE92, they are pretty mediocre tires. I think the Potenza RE960 A/S pole would be a great choice and there is $75 rebate on the set right now. The Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S would also be an excellent choice for better wet traction and ride quality.
