The round tire variety is the best tire option for your GLS.

Are you taking GLS off pavement? Is it strictly a pavement queen? Do you value comfort over say, cornering performance?

Michelin cross climate 2 are the best if you plan to drive in any type of snow

Have Had good experience with Conti on sedans

Pirelli generally provide excellent performance but the ride was awful on my GLS. And they wear too fast.

avoid death stone aka Bridgestone at all costs.

I have had the CrossContact LX25 on my 20 GLS for two years and 25,000 miles and very happy with them. Would buy again.

We replaced the OE Pirelli’s with the Michelin Primacy at 25k miles. That’s all we will use for this car. We’re staggered setup, rears only last about 25k in general because of it. Never a single problem with the Michelins.
