Thumbs up

What year is your ES & what is the exact size you need? What Michelin tire are you considering? If you do a search on these & on the LOC forums, you will see I recommend Toyo tires all day long. Check out the Toyo Proxes TPT's! They are awesome & very reasonably priced...good for 60,000 miles +

Default Michelin

I would say that in general Michelin enjoys one of the best reputations in the industry. An ES should have an "H" or higher speed rated tire on it. The Bridgestone Turanza LS-H, Conti CH95 are both very popular touring a/s tires with the minimum requirements for that car.

I agree about the Bridgestone, I just had a set put on with 16's and some GS wheels, WOW! what a difference, my car handles wayyyy better! Thumbs up on the LS-H.
