wilson Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Tires are usually change after 3 years or 40k kms - 70k km as per tire manufacturer spec. You can change brand as well, but make sure to keep it same size as OEM specs. My suggestion for good brand is Pirelli, but expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjz Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Use a coin to test the thickness of your tires. If it reaches the head, that means you need to get new ones. If not, they should be good to drive on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hshah Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I have a 2009 IS 300 Model. Original tyres for the car when purchased were bridgestone (cant remember exact type but they were run flats). When it was time to change, I switched to Michelin. From then on, the car had a slight vibration. The service advisor explained that the IS300 was developed with Bridgestone. Better change to exactly the same tyres as recommended by the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
