SO... I had the stock Bridgestone Potenza's on my IS350. I never rotated the tires, (I know you can't rotate the wheels, but you can switch sides with the tires, don't call me dumb yet, lol) and I got 24,000 miles on them. I noticed during my oil change that the warning belts were showing on all of the insides of them... So I did some research, and I didn't want the strictly performance summer tires, I wanted all season. Long story short, I ran into the Goodyear Eagle F1 All-Seasons. Good price, tread looked tight, good reviews, but nobody really had too much experience with them here.
Bottom line: HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
The tires were amazing! I got in my car, set the little TPMS, and drove. IMMEDIATELY I noticed a much more quiet ride over bumps, on the road, and on the highway, very smooth, and a much stronger/sturdier feel to the road. I would say I feel like the Bridgestones have that "whip appeal" where I could just turn whenever I wanted, but these tires STICK! My best friend has a Gallardo, and I always notice how the tires pick up every pebble on the road, and my car does virtually the same. When I park I always notice tons of little rocks sticking to the tires.
Conclusion: I don't know TOO TOO much about tires, but I've had experience with a legit amount, and I do recommend these a lot. Once it rains, I'll go have some fun, hopefully I won't get hurt, but I'll take one for the team... Feel free to ask anything...

i was actually looking into these but decided not to and go with the Potenza's due to the better rating and small difference in price. i heard the F1's are noisy after 10K... hope it ain't true

I just bought an '08 IS 350 and am not at all impressed with the Turanza ER33FZ's with their lame-o 140 treadwear rating here in the rainy, icy, snowy, (last winter - actually for about 9 months) Northwest. I want to get rid of them and put something else on, but am torn on what would work. Your posts are helping me make a decision. I have total of 32 miles on it today. The Turanzas are noisy already but the roads here are all torn up because yay-hoos run studded tires from November - February, and it tears up concrete something fierce..
Take me back to Northern California, where the roads are smooth, quiet, and the normal speed limit is 80mph !!
