Default Tire help for LS 430 sport

I need to replace all 4 tires. Currently I have 245/45/18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus. Don't know if I can afford new ones so I'm looking less expensive options.
Options I was given:
Yokohoma YK520
BF Goodrich G-Force Super Sport A/S 245/45zr/18

Want to keep same size and specs - just want to know what can come closest to the Michelin without costing as much. Or, are these choices totally wrong and I should go with the Michelin.
Don't know much about cars, and basically just want to keep close to current ride as possible. Easy highway driving. Safety must with young child.

Thanks.

i think Micheline Pilot Sport A/S plus is the best tires you can get for all season. Another option close to micheline will be Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS, but there isn't much price difference. BF Goodrich G-Force Super Sport seems pretty good for the $$, but for the same price, also consider Yokohama AVID W4S. as long as you take it easy on your driving, i think you should be fine with lesser performance tires.

I would take a close look at the Continental Extreme Contact DWS. Great performance and all season traction.

I had General Exclaim UHP's with my 18's (currently have them with my 20's) and loved them. They are great tires and have excellent traction in rain. The ride is as good as it gets with 18's IMO. They might not last as long as some others, but they are really cheap and you would be saving money even if you had to replace them a bit sooner.
