The stock bridgestone tires were showing the cords on all 4 tires at 12,000 miles.
I have since replaced the stock tires with Pirelli P6000SS.
They are a slight bit more noisy, but they handle excellent,wear is no longer an issue and I saved $40 per tire
I can now leave my flat driveway when it snows 1/4 of an inch here in Maryland.
Overall, this vehicle is superb.
Traction control is a bit sensitive.
Handles excellent.
MPG is lower than expected - about 18MPG.
Braking is unbelievable as well as cornering and stability.
This vehicle will cruise at 110mph as easily as 55mph
18mpg, have you been putting in Regular octane fuel? I have a 2002 IS300 auto and average around 22mpg mostly city driving, but I am in a small town in Florida. Only reason I can think of is I only put in Premium fuel - try that for improved gas mileage.
