These were a big improvement over the Pilot Sport 4 I had on previously, I got about 3000 miles more out of them - though they still wore very quickly, that's high performance tires for you. As with those the grip levels were insane. NVH definitely increased as the tires wore down.
Most of my driving is town and country, with some highway - quite a bit of spirited driving on winding country backroads. New Zealand is pretty wet too, so a lot of wet driving. I never had these tires in the snow as it doesn't snow this far north, but did drive them on icy roads and grip was poor, but very predictable.
After they wore out I decided to switch to an all season tire and fitted a set of BF Goodrich Advantage Control - and that is when I noticed how harsh and crashy the PS5 was in comparison. The new tires suit the Lexus better as a comfortable cruiser, even if they don't offer anywhere near the performance.
I think I'd buy these again for a different, sportier car though. They are fantastic for spirited driving.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Lexus GS460 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Previous tire was Michelin Pilot 5 sport - which I loved but did not go back to as they have become extremely expensive, and as a UHP tire I only get around 18 months out of them - also I'm getting old now so don't drive as enthusiastically as I did when I was younger.
So I was looking for something more budget friendly that would last me a few years.
I have to say so far I'm very pleased - the best thing is how it has transformed the ride quality. The P5S were always quite crashy on the Lexus on poor road surfaces (which is basically everything around where I live) - the Advantage Control just soaks it all up, and makes the Lexus feel like you expect a Lexus to feel like.
They aren't a patch on the Michelins for grip, wet or dry - but they are very communicative about their limits. Also, the Michelins always felt a bit vague on center (actually at times thought I had suspension issues) - the BFG's feel very confident on center by comparison.
If I felt I still needed something with the best grip in the conditions I mostly drive in, I would still go with the P5S - but I'm extremely happy so far with the BFG's. I'll update in a year or two with my thoughts on wear - I've already done about 3000km on them though and they still appear new across the whole tread, front and rear.
