Default Pls help with selecting tires - 2014 ES350 UL

It seems there's some confusion regarding the size of the tires in the ultra luxury ES 350 .
can you please recommend me a good set of tires?

For two years I've had 65,000 miles without any problems with the current tires. Is there anything better or would you recommend getting the same?

What size do you have on there now? The UL comes with P225/45R18.

There are tons of threads regarding replacement tires. No need to start another thread. Just run a quick search.

What brand and model tires do you have on the vehicle now? If you bought the car used, are you sure that the tires that are on it are the original set of tires? It they are the original tires and if you have gotten 65,000 miles out of them, you have done especially well. For most ES owners, I think that around 40,000 miles would be more typical.

Yes, if you have an UL ES, there should be no "confusion" about tire size. It should be the P225/45R/18.

#1 rated tire for your ES plus has a $70 rebate

These were probably your originals with a ranking of 11 out of 43

I personally would put the Pirellis on there that Fred linked to above. I have them on my LS and they are excellent.

The only other tire I would consider assuming they come in that size (they do not come in the size for my LS) are the Michelin Premier.

The Premier's do not come in the 18 inch but only the 17 inch. I will be getting the Michelin Premier on my ES in a year. The P7 and Premier are rated the #1 and # 2 tire. Costco has the Premier the reason for my choice.

Then my choice would definitely be the Pirelli for the 18" ES.

I agree... I put a set of the Pirelli's on my ES 4 or 5 months ago and I love them...

I just got the Primacy installed yesterday. We went to Big O as my husband has gotten high end tires for his AMG and Jaguar there and was happy with their service. I didn't really get a say in the choice. It was, "Hey there are chunks missing from the right front after we had to hit the curb to avoid that >&*#$&%^ minivan! You need new tires now"

I have pirelli's on mine. No complaints. A lot better than bridestones the car came with. Especially with the $70 rebate, its an excellent deal.
