I'm about to buy new 4 tires and found out that there are no more Primacy™ MXV4® for ES330 And only 2 options are: 1. older Energy™ MXV4® S8 2. noisier Pilot® Exalto® A/S
What would you recommend?

I would reccomend the Primacy in H rated. Thats what I have on my car.
No idea why they dropped it in V...

I concur.
One can only assume that cost of production exceeded the revenue. V's were not selling.

How much "V" diff from "H"? is it just speed rating that "V" can go to 149 mph, where "H" less? I can't drive even 90 mph - the best up to 80 mph - to avoid speed tickets. Does ES330 really need 149 mph tires on 65 speed limit freeways?
tnx

you won't lose, suffer nor let alone notice anything at the speeds you routinely travel.
the only area you might find a wee bit of difference (and I mean wee) is in cornering at fast speeds. The H rating does not have stiff a sidewall so you may feel a wicken tiny amount of sway compared to the V rated tire of the same. Given that the ES is floaty boaty anywar, the feeling will most likely....blend.
