I think I am convinced that I will go with an all-season tire as opposed to the summer tires (what came on the car.)
A ton of people have recommended the Pilot Sport A/S Plus and some have mentioned the Potenza 960 All-Season. The Potenzas are certainly cheaper on Tire Rack than the Pilots and there is the $75 gift card you mentioned.
I wonder why Lexus doesn't just put all-season tires on these GS430's? Not "sporty" enough?

about stock tires? i don't think they are anything spectacular at all, even though they are "summer tires". loud, and i don't think their handling is that good for their price

How about the Pirelli PZero Nero All Seaseaon. Their noise rating seems to be above the other

Those "run flats" are definitely not worth that kind of money. I have had the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S twice and the Potenza 960 A/S once. I love the Michelins, but was not too impressed with the Potenzas because I got 3 out of round tires in my batch. What a hassle to get them replaced.
I want to try the Pilot Sport A/S PLUS next time. That is their newest tire.

So I ordered the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires from Tire Rack this morning. Good pricing. Potenza 960s would have cost me like $220 less since they were cheaper and after Bridgestone's rebate but I went with the Pilots. Hope they are good. Tires Plus will install them for me next Wednesday. $82 out the door. That's a good deal.
Thanks to all for the recommendations and feedback.
I'll circle back with some feedback after a few hundred miles if anyone is interested.

Tires more sensitive to road surfaces, radial pull, dealer bad alignment or electronic steering rack.

I almost went with the PS2s but decided on the A/S Sport Plus because of the 45K tread warranty. If I knew you could get that much miles out of PS2s, I would of went that route.

Yup, I had the loud factory Yokos swapped out at 15k miles and sold the car with 40k miles on it. Tires looked like they were 1/2 worn at best and had plenty of depth to the tread indicators. PS2s are amazing tires!
