Why does everyone seem to ignore the Michelin Crossclimate+ tires? They have the best rating in every single category.

Because they don't make them in our tire size for the GS. Most common in smaller compact and SUV vehicles seem to be the sweet spot for these tires.

My '15 GS350 AWD came with 235/45R18 Michelin Primacy tires. Tire Rack and Costco sell the Crossclimate+ tires in this same size so I'm guessing that Michelin actually does manufacture them.

I have the same year/model/AWD, how did you get 18"?? They should be 19" by default unless you downgraded a size?
