Default Need tires for my GS400 but which ones????

My wife GS400 is needing tires, had one get a nail and I have to buy a new tire, it is time to replace all of them so I am wanting to try something new. Currently running Goodyear. I am wanting to get a set of Michelin's but not sure which ones... They do not make the Primacy's in the 225/55/16 but they do make them in the 225/60/16 will this extra hieght make it look funny? Normally I go wider tires with smaller side wall on most of my cars. I want to have the best possible ride on the factories, until I am able to upgrade the wheels.

Any suggestions on what this will look like or a better selection of tire?

Get a set of Michelin Pilot MXM4's. They are a little on the pricy side, but they handle excellently, and do come in 225/55/16, Is your GS a Platinum edition?

Bridgestone Potenze RE960 AS Pole Position. I just slapped these on my wife's GS400 and immediately noticed the difference. I can't say about durability, but it rained the very first day I bought them and they grip and ride extremely well. According to reviews, they also hold up very well in life.
