Bridgestone Turanza Quiettrack. I put these on my car immediately after I purchased it used. The previous owner had Brand X tires that rode noisy and rough. I had these put on and they are wonderful. It quieted the road noise and the car corners like it is on rails. Top treadwear index, too (U.T.Q.G.). That will give you an idea how many miles they should last. The higher number, the better. Go to TireRack and you can get ratings for every major name brand and a rough idea on prices. Your local tire store can order and put them on. Check Costco if you like Michelin, though they can be noisier.

“Go to TireRack and you can get ratings for every major name brand and a rough idea on prices.”

exactly, there’s no perfect tire.

Thank you for sharing your take. I bought mine with having BFGoodrich Advantage t/a sport on. I read a lot of good reviews about these tires, however my experience so far they are way too rough for me. Yes the grip is quite good I’ll give you that. But I honestly expected much smoother ride from Lexus... I was looking in to Pirelli Cinturato P7 a/s plus II 94V, right now at Sam’s for $132. Thoughts?

I currently have the Pirelli Cinturato P7 Plus on my ES and I am very happy with them...

I also have the Pirelli centuro also, but make sure you have a reputable installer I never had so many problems with tires in my whole life, installer did not do them properly,

Can you explain what problems you had and what was done to correct them. My brother-in-law has the same tires and one tire had always had a slow leak.
Thanks

Yeah I bought them from tirerack and I could never get a consistent reading every tire was different from 26 to 32 all the time one time they found a nail okay that explains that but it still was extremely unpredictable. Drove me batty! I went to another place and had nitrogen put in, that was okay for a few days go back to the same problem brought the tires back and they found another nail and they found a bead was broken so make sure that you go to only a tire installer that is recommended by tire rack

Ps to what I previously posted this was not a one or two times thing this was constantly constantly constantly. The inconsistencies of the tires drove me nuts , 4 different tires 4 different readings.
it's been more consistent with two tires with one reading to tires with another reading it recently started to change to three different readings I'm going to see how that goes though

Pirelli Cinturato P7 a/s plus II and has a 70k tread wear Rating. Get these and you will never look back.

Do you have the 17" or 18"? If you have the 18" get Size 245/45/18. Better ride comfort, handling and everything else.

wow sorry for your bad experience. If I go with these tires I will have them installed at Sam’s, normally they give a warranty on whatever they install
