My 2019 ES 300h UL will be delivered in late February or early March. I'm curious what the stock tires are and how good they are. Do all 2019 ES come with the same tires or do the different models (ES 350, ES 300h, ES 350 F Sport) or different trims (Luxury, Ultra Luxury) have different tires? What about different wheel options. I'm getting the 18" noise reduction wheels if that matters.

I'm assuming that the tire situation with the 2019 ES will be the same as it was for the Generation 6 ES.

With the Generation 6 ES, which tires came on the vehicle were the ones that the factory was using at the time the car was built. Most, possibly all, Generation 6 cars came with either Michelin tires or Bridgestone tires. In the early years of the Generation 6 run, the Michelin tires that Lexus was using were the Primacy MXV4. In the later years of the Generation 6 run, the Michelin tires were the Primacy MMX4 tires. I believe that the Bridgestone tires that were used were usally the Turanzas. Many who bought cars with the Bridgestone tires were not happy with them.

If it means closing the deal, many dealers will agree to swap out the tires if you are not happy with the ones that came on the car. For a car that you have already ordered, my guess would be that the dealer would be less likely to agree to do a tire swap.

I would suggest you post this question on the 7ES forum.

Was the loaner a ESh?

Mine came with Bridgestones and I made them swap to Michelin’s due to better ride. Cant swap them after you drive off out of the dealership post delivery/pickup. Need to have them do it before you pick up and also they need a day to schedule that work.

Just ordered a set of the new model the Pirelli - CINTURATO P7 ALL SEASON PLUS 2 from Costco (Canada). Don't get them installed for 3 weeks as in no immediate rush to do so.

Will report back when I get some miles on them.

I look forward to hearing your feedback. My car came with the Bridgestone Turanza tires. It has a lot of road noise which I've heard other people mention as well.

I've heard the Pirelli - CINTURATO P7 ALL SEASON PLUS 2 are much quieter. I've been temped to just replace the Bridgestone tires now even though it's not needed yet with only 18,000 miles on the car.

Will let you know later in September. I have the Michelins on mine with about 70,000 km on them/ aprox 44,000 miles. Not sure I need them replaced but Costco had a great deal on the Pirelli, and it's a new model supposed to be better in the rain than the old ones...so could not resist..decent price and $120 Costco gift card on top of it.
