What tire do you recommend for 2008 Lexus es350
Hi Guys,
I bought used 2008 Lexus es350 and have had Falken tire on it. What is the best tire do you recommend to put on 2008 Lexus es350? I am planning to replace the Falken tire since it makes so much noise while driving. Thank you for your advice.

The Bridgestone Turanza 400 tires on my '11 are really quiet. I don't expect them to last too long and if so, then my choice is going to be a Michelin with a treadwear warranty. Have used Kumho Platinums on my departed '07 with fair luck.

I'm new, and this is my first post.......
.......but I just replaced all four tires on my ES350 about a week & a 1/2 ago. I replaced my Michelin Pilots because a screw "killed" one of them, and all the tires were due to be replaced anyway.
I know about how highly people speak of the Michelin Primacy MXV4's on here, but increasingly, I was hearing great things about the Continental ExtremeContact DWS's as well. Additionally, the tire shop I went to had good things to say about both tires. I also read reviews on TireRack. The Michelins and the Continentals were neck and neck in rating scores. (Check them.)
I went with the Continentals. And I'm pretty damn happy with them.
I would have been happy with the Primacys or the DWS's, but I got a nice deal on the DWS's.
I've driven them through rain, but not on the highway, so I can't sing its rain-handling praises.....yet.
But they are quiet. And they soak up bumps nicely.....namely if you ride them around 32psi. I like mine a bit firmer, though.
My 2¢.............

^^^^You are correct Relexation, The Continental Extreme Contact DWS is a wonderful tire. I have Continental Extreme Contact DW on my F. But they are a different type of tire than the Michelin Primacy. The DWS is classified as an Ultra High Performance All Season Tire. The Primacy as a Grand Touring All Season Tire.
They are aimed at different market segments and offer different advantages over each other. They also differ in construction and the expected ride characteristics and life span are different.
The DWS is more of a handling tire and therefore sacrifices tire life and a smooth ride. The Primacy is a luxuriously riding tire with a long life. Tire Rack classifies them as follows:
Ultra High Performance All Season:
You want all-season versatility (including light snow traction) and are willing to trade some dry and wet traction and handling to get it.
Branded with the M+S symbol, these ultra low profile tires are designed to provide year-round traction (even in light snow) through tread designs and compounds that remain more flexible in the cold weather to help blend all-season traction with very good handling and high-speed capabilities.
Grand Touring All Season:
You want all-season versatility (including light snow traction) and responsive handling along with noise and ride comfort.
Branded with the M+S symbol and capable of providing year-round traction (even in light snow), these tires are designed to blend a performance tire's appearance with a passenger tire's smooth, quiet ride. Grand Touring All-Season tires are often used as Original Equipment and place more emphasis on handling and high-speed capabilities than Standard Touring tires.
Therefore, IMHO, the IS would be more suited to the Ultra High Performance All Season type of tire and the ES more suited to the Grand Touring All Season type of tire.

We recently bought a used 2008 ES that came with Bridgestone Potenza tires that were badly cupped on the inside and howled like crazy on the freeway. Yesterday I had a full set of Michelin Primacy installed at our local Discount tire store.
What a comlplete transformation in the car! Steers better (more responsive), rides better (#35 lbs. pressure) and best of all, it's nice and quiet now--as it should be.
We couldn't be happier. 60K mileage warranty with free rotations and balancing for the life of the tires. All for the princely sum of $835.00 out the door.
