Default tires for gs430

what are good replacement tires for a 2006 gs430 245/40/18. Whats your best bang for your buck? maybe in the 600-700$ range for all 4?

Thanks in advance

Falken 452 are noisy because they are a directional tire. I replaced them just recently with continental DWS. Its better then the Falken, but they have a problem of flat spotting very easily, but it goes away after driving a block or two. They were the only tire in my sizes that offered 50K warranty

But for the money most rave about the DWS.

any input on the falken azenis pt722 and the falken ze-912? Im looking for something all season since im in chicago. I don't drive the lexus in the crazy snow but a tire that will be ok on ice and a dusting of snow if anything.

Agree with the DWS's I have those now and they far less noisy than the Falkens ZE -912 I had prior.

Falken ZE912 they are pretty quite when new, good for the price but worn out too fast;
I have Pirelli cinturato P7 summer tires on my car now, not bad!!
