Question Tire Recommendation for 2019 ES300h Luxury

Hi - i just got a used ES 300h Luxury. The car came with 18 inch noise reduction rims but the tires on it are Ironman IMOVE GEN 2 A/S. I feel like road noise on the car can be a bit harsh and I’m guessing its these crappy tires.

I want the absolute quietest tires I can get. I don’t care about winter/snow since I live in California and I don’t care about cornering or sportiness. What do you gentlemen recommend?

Tire Rack rates this tire #1 in your size.

Here they are reviewing two quiet tires and seems to give the edge to Goodyear.

Another that scores very well on comfort and quiet

In summary don't think you would go wrong with any.

Numerous members of CL have gone with the Pirelli C7 Cinturato Plus A/S with positive reviews. I got them at Sam's Club for a Honda @ $138.88 each... Most are saying that the Michelins are the noisiest... I have them on my 2019 with the NR wheels but I drive it so little and do virtually no interstate travel so I couldn't really tell... Buying tires is a tough decision.

Here's a thread from the gen 6 forum regarding the Pirelli's...

I recently got Nitto Motivo tires when I upgraded to 20". They are much quieter that the Michelin Primacy tires which were on the stock wheels. I highly recommend.

I love the tirerack reviews - there are so many, I feel you're likely to find an accurate assessment.

Default Tire experience

I replaced the OEM tires on my 2019 Lexus ES300H at 15,000 with Goodyear ComfortDrive. My criteria were quiet and comfort. I am very well pleased. Plus , mileage improved a bit.

My 2019 ES300h comes with Bridgestone tires and they have 11.5k miles on them now. Do they wear out that quick to require change at 15k miles?

Anyone else with Goodyear ComfortDrive tires? I only care about them being quiet and ride smoothness.

if your in southern ca not worrried about snow id go with micheline primacy touring tires very nice tires i drove them on my ES300h very smooth but that means they wear fast
also after learning that i couldnt get 20k to those tires not saying they are bad just bad for the money but good comfortable tires
after i wore through those in 4 months
i got my warranty credit from the tire shop and went with the Bridgestone Turanza Quiettrack those are aweosme tires also.
but i swaped them out for bridgesotne blizzak for the winter
if you are in northern CA and drive into any ski areas then id go with the blizzak

My Michelin Primacy 4 OEM tires worn down near to the wear bars at 40,000 miles. So I did get the Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive tires for $801.00 for all 4. Very smooth ride and quiet. Better than than the Michelins. Sharp and clean steering response. High speed cornering over 85mph was surprisingly solid too. Smooth at all speeds even over 100 mph. Would purchase again.

Default Factory Bridgestone’s are garbage

2019 ES300h with 17k miles and they’re cupped. Lexus says sorry, we don’t make tires, but they did install them on the car brand new. Bridgestone says sorry, that’s a mechanical problem. Alignment is dead on. Luxury gravel mixer is what my ride sounds like.

That is awful - seems the Bridgestones are worse than the already crappy OEM Michelins. We're having great experience with the Goodyears on both my wife's RX and my ES.

2020 ES300H UL with 24K miles and Michelin energy saver A/S are not cupped at all and wearing well with over 1/2 tread left. When I was waiting for the car to come in I was worried about whether it would come in with Bridgestone but they put the better on the UL. My experience with Bridgestone was terrible on my 2008 tundra with my going back and forth between dealer and corporate on how these tires were wearing. At 17k miles they were cupped so bad I replaced them at 20k. I started noticing the problem before 10k and had the dealer do front end alignment and was told everything was in spec before and after. At 15k I carried it to independent shop and was also told everything was in spec and they did not know what the problem was. Switched to top quality Michelins and couldn't believe that solved the problem. If the problem had not been solved I would have gotten rid of the truck. I will never have Bridgestone tires again and can't believe factory put these on my truck. Believe me when you switch brands you will find it was the tires. Even if you order vehicle from scratch you cannot specify tire brand. It's a crap shoot what you get.
