Lexus GS460 Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the BFGoodrich Advantage given 82% (245-40-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1500 spirited miles
I had these fitted on December 30th and it is now January 16th, so I'm only a couple of weeks in. It is also summer here, so I haven't really been able to do much really wet road driving - so all of this is initial impressions.
Previous tire was Michelin Pilot 5 sport - which I loved but did not go back to as they have become extremely expensive, and as a UHP tire I only get around 18 months out of them - also I'm getting old now so don't drive as enthusiastically as I did when I was younger.
So I was looking for something more budget friendly that would last me a few years.
I have to say so far I'm very pleased - the best thing is how it has transformed the ride quality. The P5S were always quite crashy on the Lexus on poor road surfaces (which is basically everything around where I live) - the Advantage Control just soaks it all up, and makes the Lexus feel like you expect a Lexus to feel like.
They aren't a patch on the Michelins for grip, wet or dry - but they are very communicative about their limits. Also, the Michelins always felt a bit vague on centre (actually at times thought I had suspension issues) - the BFG's feel very confident on centre by comparison.
If I felt I still needed something with the best grip in the conditions I mostly drive in, I would still go with the P5S - but I'm extremely happy so far with the BFG's. I'll update in a year or two with my thoughts on wear - I've already done about 3000km on them though and they still appear new across the whole tread, front and rear.

Amazingly the PS5 manages to noticeably improve over the PS4, particularly in wet handling and wet braking. Supposedly will last longer too - I got 24,000km out of the PS4's I had previously, which for me was pretty good as other UHP tires I've bought haven't made it to 20,000km - if the marketing for the PS5 is for real, that means in theory I could get as much as 30,000km out of them. Not sure how Michelin manage to do it!
