BTW My dealer couldn’t source these Continentals for me. So what I did was order them myself online from a tire dealer in Quebec and then had my dealer install them.

My apologies as I have double checked the proper Continental tire name- it is actually Continental Pure Contact LS. This is a brand new tire for 2022 and is provides absolutely fantastic ride and handling characteristics on the Lexus ES 350 cars.

I've been riding the OEM Dunlop P225/55R17 H on my LS since I bought the car in 2004. They were good handling, low noise tires, but Goodyear bought Dunlop and discontinued them. I was at the Lexus dealer for other work and they recommended the Hankook P225/55R17 V so I bought them. They are not much different than the Dunlop tire, good handling and low road noise. However, all the reviews I read said they wear down relatively quickly. But so did my Dunlops, typically I got 35Kout of my tires. Well it seems the tire material is softer and that causes the tire to wear down quicker. Not a bad trade off if low noise is a must have...

I have a 2014 ES. I just bought some tires based on these comments. Went on a road trip for 1600 miles. I think these are the most quiet tires I’ve had…more quiet than the Cinturatos. They do seem more soft, but that seems to go away, or I just got used to it. I don’t see/feel any difference cornering, etc. I would recommend the P7 AS Plus 3.

Curious whether you got the V or H rated tire? Considering the P7 AS Plus 3 in the V rated which should be just a bit stiffer than the H rated.

Exactly what every one think son all their different Lexus. The P7 Plus 2 was great as it was. The Plus 3 is even that much better. Excellent in the rain too. I'm still trying to understand why anyone would buy anything else or say they are not as great as they are. lol!

Just purchased a set of 235/45R18 P7 AS Plus 3s to fit my 2017 ES350 with 18x7.5 wheels next month.

I really look forward to the upsizing as 215/55R17 is way under-tired for our ESs.

Finally got my tires installed, took 3 months for the order to finally come in.

If i'm being completely 100% honest here, I don't really notice a huge difference in terms of noise/ride quality. Cornering is noticably better, but I could also chalk that up to the OEM tires being on the vehicle since it was purchased.

However, for almost $60 less a tire than the OEM Michelin, I'm quite happy. Definitely recommend if you can manage to a hold of them

Thanks very much. I just ordered a set for my '16 ES350 from COSTCO based on this meaningful comment. I'll be sure to report back after I've driven a few thousand kilometers.
