Default Tires Recommendation? 09 Lexus ES

I think it is time to get my tires replaced and I need recommendation for a good set of tires? Thanks

I went back with the OEM Primacy MXV4 because they ride so nice!

93V was a direct replacement for me.

Primacy or Defender, both great tires. They are sticky tires that will never reach their mileage ratings but ride smooth and have a good design for evacuating water.

I decided to go with Michelin Premier a/s. In fact, they are installing it right now

You are right about primacy tires..they are great but worn out really quick (30-35k lifespan)

Let's see how premiers behave..

We installed Michelin Premier A/S 94V about 6 months ago. They have about 6000 miles on them and no noticeable wear. They handle great and last week we drove from Washington to Utah and back. Averaged 30 miles per gallon, which was surprising as the speed limit is 80 in both Idaho and Utah - we pretty much ran at 85 mph and temperatures outside were anywhere from 95 to 102 on our trip. I would buy them again.
