What is the absolute most comfortable tire for '04 ES330 that never goes above 40mph?
It still has original Bridgestones. The car has just over 12,000 miles and 11,000 of those
miles are driven under 40mph over over rough road littered with potholes, with speed limit
at 25mph all the way. It is only used on trips to the post office, grocery store, and library.
The area never gets any snow.

According to the Tire Rack customer survey, the top ones current seems to be the
Goodyear Assurance TripleTread and ComfortTread. (Micheline is #2, but cost too much
for the way this car is used) However, those Goodyear tires are relatively new and
the survey is not that accurate on new tires.

Thanks for any suggestions!

The Goodyears have got very good reviews (my dad put the comfortreads on his Park Avenue from my recommendations....the triple tread was not available for his car & he loves em). The Triple tread is Goodyears 'flagship' in an all season premium tire & is excellent value! Make sure you get a tire close to the speed rating recommended by Lexus. Other very quiet tires to consider would be the Falken Ziex ZE-512 www.falkentire.com or www.tiretrends.com OR the Toyo Proxes TPT. www.toyo.com Good Luck! If your looking for very long mileage, I'd go with the Goodyear.
