Someone said Toyo has a deal with either Servco or Lexus in Hawaii. I wonder if thats why they are so adimate(sp) to swap out for those. Well heres to hoping this gets fixed soon.

Michlein Pilot Primacy HP's are OE spec tires that come standard, but so are a few other offerings including the ones mentioned above in this pole.

My 08 GS350 AWD came with Dunlop SP 2050 tires (225/50R17). I find it a bit curious that an AWD car comes with summer tires.

I only have 3000 km (less than 2000 miles) on it and so far they're great, although judging from reviews, I can expect it to be not-so-great in the not-so-distant future....

Mine came with Dunlop SP5000 runflats. When I upgraded to 18 inch G-spider wheels before taking delivery , they also came with Dunlops SP5000 runflats.
They are a little noisy and gives the car a hard ride from stiff rubber. I'll have to live with it until they wear down before replacing.

Pilot Sport A/S or Pilot Sport 2 do not come OEM for the 18" wheel option on the GS. The only Michelin tires available for the GS for the 18" wheels is the Michelin Primacy HP not to be confused with the Pilot Primacy.

Regardless of what Michelin you pick, they're smooth, quiet and they grip well.

I second that, Michelin Pilots A/S are the best tire for the car. The are smooth and quiet and give a sporty ride without compromising ride.
