Tire suggestions
I have a 2014 GS350 FSport AWD. Currently running Michelin primacy mxm4 235/40r19 96v tire on factory FSport wheels. Only tire I've used since vehicle purchase a few years ago. I'm needing new tires and looking for suggestions. I live in Houston.

Have a set of Yokohama Advan Sport A/S on a 2013 and love them. They're quiet (quieter than the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+), ride comfy, and handle well in dry and rain. Bit cheaper than the Michelins too.

You will see that the top two tire brands recommended on this form are Michelin and continental. I opted for the continental as I wanted the smoother ride at the sacrifice of a softer sidewall compared to the Michelin’s.

I had the mxm4 on my gs350 initially. Then went with Michelin pilot all season 4 . Such a huge difference in the stability of the car and even more pronounced in rain and light snow.
I then ran them on the GSF.
highly recommended.
if you go with continental then go with DWS06 plus

Michelins are nice but they are very expensive, and they wear extra fast. The Conti's are a terrible one for the GS, they roar and hum and are a jolting ride. The Advan does it all, and handles better than the rest. Quite and smooth riding, long wear, and a great price. Yokohama can make some great tires in certain lines.

Had the P7 A/S plus 2 and New Plus 3 on 3 cars we have, including my old ES350 = 4. The The P7 is very good, I loved them but, the Yokohama Advan A/S+ is even better. It's vey much like the P7 but believe it or not, but it's even more quite and comfortable, and it just handles way better.

If you drive hard yeah I can see that. Th fsport has a staggered setup so you can't rotate and most of these tires are directional anyhow so you cannot rotate them regardless. Plus the fsport rear suspension has a bit of camber so the inside of the tire wears much faster. I usually get about 30k out of my tires and then I don't feel they are safe to drive on in the rear.
