Replacement Tires - '07 ES 350
I'm looking for recommendations for replacement tires for my 07 ES350. Priorities are a quiet ride, and reasonably good all weather performance especially in snow since I'm in upstate NY. The Michelin Primacy MXM4 looks like a match. Any experience with this tire out there? Are there other strong recommendations? Thanks.

Just put a set of Kumho Ecsta Platinum LX tires on my '07 ES350. Nice ride / handling / nice price too. Have a set on my '07 Impala SS and went through NE PA winter without a hitch. But for upstate NY, having lived in Buffalo for years, I would recommend a 2nd set of winter only tires.

Looks like some good suggestions above - I can tell you what NOT to get: Goodyear Assurance w/ the directional tread. I picked up my ES a couple of months ago and it has these mounted. VERY LOUD!!
I thought it was just the difference between my '99 LS and this car - but after driving a 2010 ES loaner, it was absolutely confirmed it was the tires.

On my LS400 I had General Altimax HP tires mounted - they were directional but worked great - super quiet and good performance. I only had the tires for about 16 months before I got rid of the car, but they were quiet and they did pretty darn good in the snow. I purchased based on price (Tire Rack) since I didn't have a huge amount of $$ to spend at the time. I'd purchase these again if they're available when it comes time for tires.
I know the LS isn't a sporty vehicle, but I pushed it hard and for what it was, it handled pretty well for a boat!
The downside of directional tires of course is limited ability to rotate them. At least keep a regular treaded tire on your spare.
