Question Recomended tires for LS-430

I have an 06 LS-430 with 18x7.5 wheels I have Nexxen 3000 245/45/ZR18 tires and am looking for the best all season avaliable in this size. Tirerack reccomends the Yokohama Advan-4's. However my friend who street races says that the Nitto INVO's are a better tire. Which tire is a better tire and is there a better tire that i am not mentioning here. I am looking for an all season since in NJ we get rain and sometimes snow even though i have diffrent rims with winter tires for the winter time i am looking for the best allseason avaliable in a 245/45/ZR18 or 245/45/R18?

Also can i use 255/45/R18's instead of 245/45/ R18's im just trying to fill in the gap between the wheel and the well and provide a little more comfort with a bigger sidewall

I put on the LS460 235/50/18 Dunlop Sport A1 A/S on my 02 UL. They work great and have a tall sidewall with a good ride. Great handling as well.

I'm wondering what the moderators have to say about the best All season ultimate preformance tire for the tire size that i need like i said i beilve it is between Yoko ADVAN 4's and Nitto INVO's. Acording to many reliable website reviews the Dunlop sports are of no comparison.

Personally, I have, and strongly recommend the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. Its all seasons, great tread life (400) as well as handling in wet and dry conditions. Tire noise is also low, especially after its first half.

Downside: price, but you asked for the best tire out there.

I have no experiance with the other tires you've mentioned.

I highly recommend 245/45/18 Bridgestone 960 A/S. I have them on my 2004 UL and they very quiet as well as smooth riding.

How would the bridgestones and the michelens match up against the NITTO INVO's? i ran a tire comparison check and the NITTO's were better and cheaper however 50% of the reviews about the INVO's complained about sidewall flex while conering does anyone have those tires and know anything about how they would preform on the LS 430?

+1 Michelins

I run 20's and at over $400 a tire it isn't cheap but the ride and performance are great with good treadwear.

I have 7K on 245/45/18 Bridgestone 960 A/S. They are quiet, smooth and good in the rain.
