Inexpensive tire
I'm very disapponted. Just after 25k miles my tires completely worn. I do not want to spend much $$ on leased car. I tried Costco, but cheapest tires them recommend $119 each. Anything under $80 can you recommend. I have one more year of lease.

The Toyo is good & so are the Yoko's.
The Falken Ziez ZE-512's should be well under $100 each & are good for 60,000 miles......a fantastic value & awesome wet weather (especially heavy rain), very low tire noise & a quality Japanese tire to boot!

Only other tire I would consider based on what your looking for is the new Goodyear Assurance Triple Tread. They will last 80,000 miles & are slightly more expensive than the Falkens.

Those are by far the 2 BEST available for your ES. Let us know what you decide. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask away.

for the most part the original tires that come on new cars suck no matter what brand they are, unless you are buying a sports car or something, they always put on the cheapest tire that a certain brand makes, for example they will put on the cheapest that goodyear or firestone offers... this could be the main reason why you were unhappy with it..... as far as i know about the firestone ordeal, ford decided to be cheap and instead of changing the layout of their cars, they decided to lower the recommended tire pressure on their explorer so it will handle better, with this in mind some tires were not able to handle it. this is what i read awhile back not coming from anybody i know from firestone.......... well i was just rrying to help a fellow member anyways..................... oh well..........

I don't expect an OE tire to be the best on the market in it's respected category but when they can't even handle ligh rain (both my wife's current car & my former Nissan) considering the recent history of a certain tire maker.......they lost me as a customer for life I will go to great lengths to make them loose hundreds if not thousands of future customers & sales.
It might not make that much difference on the grand scale of things considering how large Bridgestone is, but I'm only one person & word of mouth spreads quick.

I actually feel the same way about Sony when it comes to electronics after a couple of products failed way before there time (sony is suppose to be one of the best, if not THE best in electronics). I only buy JVC stuff from now on & after 15 years........haven't had any complaints.
