Default Tire Selection

I need some advice on my wife's 05 ES 330, she is in need of a set of tires. Can anyone recommend a good set of tires for this car? Thanks...

This question has popped up a few times here, the recommendation is almost always the Michelin Primacy MXV4's or Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS. Both offer a good combination of wet/dry grip, low noise, comfort, and all weather tread.

I am in need of new tires as well. I have the Michelin Energy MXV4 S8 tires on it now. I have only had the car about 10K miles. They do seem to ride well even though they are down to almost 3/32. The Michelin Primacy is one of the tires I am considering though.

Have the primacy's on my 05' Accord. They are great all around but I'm guessing they will do 20k to the wear bars, tops with rotations and conservative driving. Not impressed.

Put Goodyear Assurance Comfortred Touring on the ES. I'm infatuated thus far. Only a few thousand miles but very quiet, comfortable, and impressively grippy for a 65 series tire. Well reviewed and relatively affordable as well.

What is the biggest you can go on a stock wheel? right now i think our ES has 205-60-15 on them, does anybody have bigger tires on their stock wheels?

The Michelin Primacy MXV4 is an amazing tire. Super quiet and comfortable ride and grips so well in the wet.
