Default Replacement Tires - Michelin X Radials any good?

I'm looking for replacement tires for my stock 04 ES330. I'm in need of a tire that does well in rain/snow conditions. Anyone have any input on the Michelin X Radial DT tires? I noticed that they are T rated tires. Any downsides to going with a T rated tire?

Thank you!

i have michelin primacy mxv4's on my ES300...theyre a bit more pricey but you will not be disapointed....they handle well in all weather conditions, they offer a smooth and quiet ride and they wear very well...i think michelin has like a 60k mile plus warranty on them too...

Yea, I currently have a set of mxv4's on my ES330's, though the X Radials were rated better for snow/ice.. that's why I was wondering if anyone has them. Also, still wondering about the load rating, if it's ok to go w/ the X Radials being that they're a T rated tire.
