Default Tire Recommendation 4th ES 2005

Hello All,

Been a shame I've been a member for over 5 years and yet I've never posted anything in awhile, well his something I would like people's opinion on. I've got maybe 40-30% life left on my current set of tires. I'm noticing a lot more road noises, rougher ride, and maybe even a lower MPG from these tires. Here in So-Cal it's kinda hard to gauge what type of tire I "should" get but I believe a set of all season would do well. Any who I've had a set of Michelin from Costco put on the car when I bough it back in 07-08. I don't want to spend that 1k on those type of tires again *just for cost purposes* I've been told Hankook and Yokohama's are a good substitute. Could anyone shed their insight on this?

Any info would help greatly.

Thanks,

Jay

Thanks, for the input. I'll look into these Premiers. How many miles did you get out of them?

On this car I would choose the Pirelli Cinturato P7 Plus probably. My old 03 ES has a set on it.

Primacy MXV4 if your supplier can get them, otherwise the P7 Plus.

I've an 2000 ES 300 Platnium series. the car came with brigedstones and I swapped them for Continentals - great tire in dry, wet and snow. I'm now on Pirelli Cinturato P7 and love the way they handle.

If you're not going to hit any serious snow like here in NYC, then continentals or prielli should do the job
