Default question on best tire for ES 300...

I just purchased a 2002 ES300 with Bridgestone Turanza's. Still quite a bit of tread left and it seems to be a pretty smooth ride. So it will be a while before I need a new set, but I wanted some opinion from other Lexus owners about their choice of tires.

Michelin Primacy MXVs - great tires with lots of biting edges.

These types of questions, like what brand of oil do you use will get many responses. Things for you to consider;

driving conditions- do you want an all season ( M&S) or summer tire
speed rating
budget
pricing- sometimes manufactures offer rebates

I recommend sites like Tire Rack and Consumer Reports for helpful information.

I agree with Chocolate ...Michellin Primacy MXV4's are good tires. I have a set on my wife's C-class Benz. I really don't trust Bridgestone after their problems several years back.
