I have a GS400 and if you want a great ultra high performance all season I would recommend looking at the Bridgestone RE960. Absolutely fantastic wet traction, rides good, quiet, and rated for 40,000 miles. If I get 30,000 (and after 15K it definitely looks like I will easily get 30K) then I will not hesitate to get them again.

The difference in ultra high performance and grand touring is primarily speed rating and traction. The RE960 is not a cheap tire but it is hard to get a high peformance tire with good durability, handling and quiet ride characteristics. The main reason I got the tire was for wet weather traction....I can't stand a tire that makes me change my driving style dramatically for wet weather.
