Default 2013 LS460 or 2013 GS450h

Hey guys, I purchased a new 2013 GS450h and put 83k miles on it over the last 32 months. I absolutely love the car and have never had any issues, just the typical 10k services and fill 'er up with gas. I'm considering a 2013 LS460 F-Sport with 19k miles and concerned about the increased maintenance costs (I drive 25k miles a year). Right now I get 50k miles out of my 18" tires, do the 10k services and had my break pads replaced at 80k miles. Nothing else on my 450h has failed or needed service, and I don't see any signs of the car losing steam.

What type of mileage will I get out of the 19" F-Sport tires? How often will the LS460 need a break or rotor change? Anything else I need to consider for routine maintenance that isn't typical for a GS model?

Thanks for any feedback you can provide. I'm willing to pay more for the car, pay more for gas (get 30mpg in my 450h) and pay more for maintenance....I just want to know what I'm getting into as I plan to own this for the next 100k miles or so.

If you're comparing the maintenance between the 2 I would say they would be identical. I'd also imagine the wear on the tires and brake system should be the same given the relative similarities in weight of the cars.

The tires will really depend on what you decide to buy, Dr. Jekyll is right about the rest.
