Michelin is the short answer everytime. I just replace my OE Potenza's (34,K miles) with the new Michelin PS4 they should have better wet traction & similar quietness, handling & longjevity.

Are you looking for all season tires? winter tires?

Check this thread - https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...re-choice.html
With the luxury package you can skip over the comments about staggered wheels. It's a F-Sport thing. The comments about AWD and regular GS models will apply to the Luxury edition.

That said, you have a lot of choices. The recommendations on tirerack.com are another good place to start.

My OEM tires are still new, so I haven't had to make my own decision yet!

I'm also partial to the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus based on the reviews I've read here and elsewhere. Here's an example:
https://www.tirerack.com/tires/surve....jsp?type=GTAS

The dealer put on new Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02 tires as part of the CPO deal for my 2015 GS 350 F Sport AWD. I wasn't thrilled with them at first, they were harsh and noisy. They do seem to be getting better as I break them in. I'm going to see how they do this winter before I decide I pass judgement and possibly replace them. I'd like to get at least 3 years out of them. I'm also considering getting a separate set of rims with snow tires, that was the standard procedure on my BMW.

I just bought a '16 GS350 Luxury a few weeks ago with 4k miles. It has the Bridgestone summer tires. Given that I'll be driving in snow later this year, I have an appointment at Discount Tire on Friday to install the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus tires.

Are you going to switch tires with the seasons?

Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus

I have a '17 Lux GS and I replaced the Dunlops at 7,000 miles with the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus. I have a little over 10,000 on these and absolutely love them! I mean, unequivocally the best riding, handling, and quietest tire (combined) I have ever had on a sedan in 30 + years. Period.

I am having Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus tires installed tomorrow on my 16 GS Lux. I just bought my GS but it had the Bridgestone Potenza summer tires as it was a Florida car and I live in PA so I needed all season tires. I also upsized to 245/40/19. Got them for $195 shipped free and no tax from discount tire direct. They price matched Amazon as their price was $224 per tire. I had the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season on my ES but that was a completely different car with 215/55/17.

Picking up some Sottozeros tomorrow From TR in Denver. Did an oil change and a tire rotation and found a two inch by 1/2” gash in the rear tire which I guess I should be glad I found while parked.

If available - https://www.kleber.fr/kleber-gb/gb/T...es/Quadraxer-2
Very quiet tyre, good grip. This is a sister (winter oriented) tyre of Michelin Crossclimate+ (Kleber is Michelin's brand).

This is another good option if you don't mind higher wear/price ratio (kleber is a bit more quite though)
