ES 350 replacement tire recommendation
My 2010 ES 350 has 115,000 km (72,000 miles) Original Michelin MXV4s are long gone (only the spare survives), the original owner replaced them with Nokian all seasons, nice tires, fairly quiet but starting to crack on sidewalls although the tread still has a year or two left in them. I have Dunlop Winter Maxx for the long cold season ahead, but I'm already starting to think about next spring and possibly replacing the all season Nokians. Any recommendations? I'm obviously looking for fuel efficient, long lasting and quiet tires with emphasis on the latter. What did you end up getting and what are your thoughts on the set?

My car has Sumitumo tires on it now and I hate them. Less than 20K on them, they are noisy and they are scary on wet roads. I'm looking for a second set of wheels so I can get some Blizzaks for the winter, then it will get Michelin MXV4's in the Spring.

I've been a fan of Michelin tires. We put a set of Michelin Premiers on our 2010 ES350 a few months ago and have put 15,000 miles on them. They've been great tires so far and handle great on wet and dry roads. We don't get much snow, so no test of that yet. Noise wise, they are no louder than the MXV4's that came on them. Nice smooth, good handling ride.

I'm a big fan of Michelin tires as well. However, I purchased a CPO ES with brand new Continental Purecontacts and I am quite happy with them. They provide a nice quiet ride and perform well on wet surfaces. However, I have not had the car long enough to see how it will do in snow.

I just put MXV4's on my '07, and I have MXM4's on my '16 MB E350. Both are capable, quiet tires - neither of which are particularly good in the snow, but I don't expect them to be. I've had good experience with Conti DWS on other cars.

Lexpegged, take a look at the Perilli Cinturato P7 A/S Plus tire. 70K mile tred warranty. They are rated the # 1 grand touring tire on tirerack.com. I'm actually going to order a set for my 350 next week. Never owned a Pirelli before but like all brands there's going to be good, better, best... this p7 plus is rated "excellent" for low road noise, soft ride and tread wear...
