Need New Tires

Darren F · 10-30-07, 09:52

I have a 2007 Lexus ES350. Have about 29,000 miles on it and need new tires...Dont need a high performance tire but want one that will handle nicely but most important handle the wet South Florida rainy season and not wear out after 25 - 30k miles....Any recommendations?

go to tirerack.com and plug in your size and other specs and it'll give you some to look at. it all depends on the size, some sizes there's not alot of choices. but tire rack has all the best brands, you could research there and then find a place to by them. they do have really good tire and wheel combo sets, they ship them to you mounted and balanced, just bolt them one, why just buy tires when you can buy a new set of plus size rims!!

I'd have the Yokohama Avid V4S, and they work great for me. They are on tirerack, and my tires are 215/55/17. Seems reasonable a ES350 would be close to that size

My car is a 2004 Infiniti G35X.

I have the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position tires on my BMW (in the summer) and they are a fantistic performance tire with especially good grip in the wet.

These Bridgestones and the Goodyear Eagle F1 rate highest on TireRack for wet handling and tread life.

i have the gs-d3 myself as well, and i'd say they are the best street tire you could buy for the money, but i do notice a little noise from them on the highway, not something I personally care about but if you have a lexus that might upset you in some way. not sure how you drive, but from a performance standpoint i wouldn't go with any other tire

I used to use tirerack all the time, but their prices have risen alot.... once you figure in shipping, tax, FET, etc, etc

Now I use discount tire / discounttiredirect exclusively. Free shipping, and they dont tack on tax for out of state sales like tirerack does. Home - Discount Tire Direct

I am running Falken 512's which seem to be working pretty good

I am running Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS on my TL. They are leaps and bounds better than the worthless Turanza's that came with the car. I was hesitant to buy Bridgestone after seeing how bad those tires were, but I love the Potenza's and they seem to be wearing well so far.
