Default Michelin Primacy vs CrossClimate for S Florida?

I have a 2010 ES350 and live in South Florida.

I have to put new tires soon.

I'm debating between Michelin Primacy MXM4, Michelin Primacy MXV4, or Michelin CrossClimate. I'm hearing mixed opinions from local tire shops. A couple say CrossClimate is best for this car, but a few (more than a couple) are recommending the Primacy and suggesting I stay away from the CrossClimate because they haven't had good feedback, it looks like a snow tire, and is noisy.

They look like totally different tires.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

TireRack test of Cross Climate shows some growl is present all the time and the ride is not very soft. I’ve had Primacy MXV4 in the past and they are quiet but I found the ride a little stiff. I just put on a set of the new Goodyear Assurance Comfort Drive tires. We drove from Mass to Florida and back this month and the ride was soft and road noise was improved over the Bridgestone Turanza ES400s that came off. Not any reviews yet that I can find on the Goodyear’s but the price was better than the Michelin's. Just another possibility to consider.

I've ran Primacy before. Don't know which model. They were a nice quiet, smooth riding tire. Liked them a lot.

Unrelated to your question but, i saw that you were from FL so I figured I’d send you this question.

Have a 09 ES 350 and i am looking for Part No. 74230-33070 ( Front Passenger Side window switch harness ) New to this form so i am not really familiar on how to attach pic to a reply. But i did post a thread with 3 pics, which will give you some idea.

i already tried Ebay. Wanted to know if you knew someone who had this so i can order it.
