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.

 

Yes, that is the correct size. What did you have in mind that are much better for less? I'ld love something like that...

 

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 )

^not to familiar on this tire but i know its better then the 2 you posted haha

 

F Bridgestones man

 

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.

 

right but still if its for your parents you wanna make sure they get a good tire, not one thats gonna potentialll cause an accident because they are cheap
