Default ES350 Tires

I am looking for new tires for my 2007 ES350. I want all-weather tires that are quiet and will last a long time. What do you recommend? Thanks.

I tried the Bridgestone Turanza Serenity and wasn't happy with the wear nor the noise. I'm currently on the Michelin Primacy MXV4 and like their lower noise level. Still too early to tell on wear.

The handling with both is good.

Aren't you concerned about performance? If so, you should stick with Michelin...assuming yours came with the Energy like mine did. Great tire, just did not last long. I went with the Primacy as well. Same road handling ability, but with a much better tread wear rating.

Do a search. There are several threads on this subject with lots of great info.

My CPO has a set of the Turanzas and I haven't been unhappy with them, but I don't have anything to compare them to yet. Based on the sheer number of positive posts on CL about the Michelin Primacy MXV4's, I would strongly consider them for my next set. Being in GA I don't have the messy winters you guys have, so ice/snow handling is less of an issue.

Thanks for the info. It certainly seems like the Primacy tires are the way to go.

I have Kumho Ecsta Platinum tires on my 2007. Good traction, ride, reasonably priced alternative to the Michelins. Research on www.tirerack.com.

Had Michelins, Bridgestones, etc. Went to Yokohama after a lot of research. Have them on my Sienna and Avalon. Never looked back. Great tire. Quiet and great mileage. Check them out on Tire Rack.
