| Posted: 8/15/08 6:34PM Post subject: New Tires for an ES330 |
|
|
Bridgestone Turanza EL42
Michelin Energy MXV4 S8
I'm looking at these two tires for my parent's ES330. I guess their main priorities are noise, comfort, and wet performance. They don't want to spend much more than $200.
Any insight? Perhaps other tires I should look at? |

out of those two i would go with the michelin
those bridgestones suck.
btw are the tire sizes the one picked out on the michelin site? 215/55/17? if so there are MUCH better tires for less. |

from that website alone i would take any of these 3 over the 2 you suggested, and they are all all seasons and less money.
i used to work for Goodyear and let me tell you they make awesome tires for the money so i recommend the response edge and then the triple tread and then the yoko.

^ this tire provides great grip and a really quiet ride.

^ this tire provides great grip in all conditions (snow, rain, dry) and is fairly quiet (plus it kinda gives a cool aggressive look 8) )

| Those Yokohamas did catch my eye. I'm afraid of sacrificing noise and ride quality though. This is for my parents so they don't exactly push the car at all. |
