It's too bad that the Goodyear Triple Treads don't come in that size.....they would be my first choice hands down!

Haha, you're exactly like me. I have a 2002 ES300 which came with those Turanza's and it now has the same MXV4+'s.

Overall I'm very pleased with the Michelin's. Less rolling resistence (higher gas mileage), more grip but just as quiet as the Turanza's, though they sure are the most expensive of all.

Don't overlook the Falken Ziex ZE-512 high performance all seasons......one of the best overall values going & a 60 series has a 60,000 mile treadwear!

Michelin, Goodyear, Pirelli...and etc are first tier aka 1st rate tire brands. Brands like Kumho, Hankook, Falken and etc are low cost tuner tires...which are fourth tier aka 4th rate tire brands in the industry.
