Tyres

[lexus22]

Can anyone recommend tyres for is300, need to be good on grip and fuel and most important must be quite!

I expect you will get a few suggestions as we all have our favourites. I have Continental Sport Contact 5's and they have been the best so far over the Bridgestone RE 50 and Dunlop sport maxx. Depends how you drive and what you want from it really.

Well, running Vreds at the moment which have been a great tyre regards to wet/dry grip and looks good, bad points are "F" on fuel and are very, very noisy. They have done around 25k so getting close to wear bars so looking to change all four now.

Confusing when looking on-line at different tyres and finding some that have "B" fuel "B" grip "68" noise which sounds good, then reading reviews that slate them! Obviously tyres work differently on rear/front wheel drive cars which doesn't help, and the noise rating is for outside the car (who cares) and not noise generated inside! Bloody mine field!!

Had Bridgestones on my old is200 which were a very good tyre but wore out much to quick.

Since my last post I have changed the wheels and tyres and now have Michelin pilot super sports. incredible grip and yes they wear but for smiles per mile I haven't used anything better.
