Default Tires for 2015 Lexus IS250

I need new tires for my 2015 Lexus IS250. Tire size 225/45/17. I've been doing research online, because I know nothing about tires, and am getting mixed reviews for the pirelli cinturato versus the michelin pilot sport A/S 3+. I got my car serviced a few days ago and the lexus dealership recommended bridgestone potenza RE760 sport. Currently I have the potenza RE92, but have heard these are not worth the price. I've had no real issues with them, but probably wouldn't pay to get them again. I drive almost an hour to work, highway driving so I definitely care about the safety of the tire. A good stop time is always a plus. Also I live in Florida, so I need a tire with good traction in the rain. Lastly, want something that still rides nice, as in quiet, I'm not a race car driver, although do appreciate a good pickup . Any input is welcome!

All seasons tend to last longer than summer tires. Also they are not just for snow, but also for colder temperatures. I just got the Michelin AS3 and they are awesome!

Consider treadware and traction ratings.

I have BFGoodrich G-Force Comp-2 A/S and think they are great. I also do a lot of highway driving in up here in New England and they are great besides the tires being louder than expected Bought them with 28k on the car and now I have 51k and still have plenty of tread left.

I highly recommend the Pilot Super Sport or Pilot Sport 4. Fantastic tire and its grip is like the hand of God guiding your car around corners.
