I wanted to provide an update. I ordered the Michelin Pilot Sport AS4's on 2/8/23 and they arrived at my local Costco on 2/16/23. I set my appointment for Monday 2/20/23 and have put a few miles on them driving back and forth to work. So far, all I can say is WOW! The difference is literally night and day and now my NX300 FS rides and sounds like a Lexus once again. In defense of the original Bridgestones, at 43K miles, I had gotten all the miles and money out of them. Considering this is the first set of tires I have had to put on the vehicle, I cannot complain. I knew they were getting noisy due to age and wear but MAN! NOTHING RIDES LIKE A NEW SET OF QUALITY TIRES! I know what every bump felt and sounds like on my way to work and now everything is quiet and bumps are less intrusive. I will post another update once I get some more miles on them but everything is so far, so good.
Actually the All Seasons are not even coming up for me on the Costco website , only the Pilot Sport 4S Summer which are more expensive

Did you have staggered sizes? I am pissed cause I was about to order them yesterday and the price went up/rebates is gone. Id wait but Im driving on a spare right now. The only other tires Costco has that fits my car are the Bridgestones Potenza Sports Summer Tires

You may not want to hear this, but you might want to consider looking at BJs or Sams Club. If BJs has the tires it might very well be priced right for you and it MAY pay to join just to purchase the tires! Of course now you have a second place to go for your rotations (and road hazard warranty, etc.). Just another option to consider.
They have the Michelins Summer , $340 front and $403 rear with the discount but the A/S which are not in stock are cheaper

One thing you need to be aware of, at least with COSTCO.
I've been a COSTCO member since the year of the flood.
Some years ago, there was a tire I wanted and according to their online site, they did not even carry it.
I happened to be in the store several weeks later and was just about to purchase my second choice. I happened to mention to the salesman that "according to their website, they didn't offer my first choice". He asked me what it was, he looked it up, and said "Sure, we can get those. It'll take 5 days". I was soooooo happy.

Costco’s website doesn’t show tires that aren’t available in large quantities. It’s always better to contact a store direct and sometimes even stores close together have different options available to order. Also if Costco doesn’t have a rebate America’s tire/ Discount tires probably does
