SW03ES Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 The MXV4s you got on your ES are not the Primacy MXV4, they're the MXV4 S8, the Primacy is supposed to have better traction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 The MXV4s you got on your ES are not the Primacy MXV4, they're the MXV4 S8, the Primacy is supposed to have better traction. They also a longer treadlife. ;) Steviej, no arguement from me about the RE92's....absolutely horrible in anything but dry pavement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickES300 Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 I need to replace the OEM tires on my 02 ES300. Lots of options, just interested in real world experiences from forum members and their recommendations I think I am going with the Exaltos. Great price through Sams Club. Hopefully I wont be disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conmanwi Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I just put some Primacy MXV4's on my 1999 ES in June. Comfortable, excellent wet and dry traction and very quiet. Worth every penny I spent. I'll have to report on the snow traction come this November or December. Hopefully we won't be seeing over 100+ inches this season!

SW03ES Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 They're going on my ES in a couple weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcallexus Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Just adding my two-cents worth here, I have 2001 ES300 Coach Edition and have had several brands of tires. It came to me with Dunlops on it. I started noticing a steering wheel vibration around 60 MPH. After putting the tires on a Hunter analyzing machine, the tech discovered a belt separation as the cause. The tire dealer talked me into putting on Toyo Proxes. They drove much better with no vibration, but they had road noise and sang like an alleycat! After wearing those out, I put on the Michelin's which as everyone has said are on the expensive side. However, the ride, drive, and steer like a dream. Well worth the costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drivingmissdaisy Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Based on the overwhelming support in this group for the Michelin Primacy MXV4s, I ran out today and outfitted my ES300 with four new ones. It didn't hurt that COSTCO has sale for $80 off a set of four right now. I was out the door with Washington State's high tax for about $550. I could tell the ride was a lot more quiet than the older worn Michelin X tires it replaced. I'm hoping to see better mileage too, stay tuned! The service person said he had the same tires on his 97 Accord and he thought these were the best too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Where are you seeing that deal? I don't see it on Costco's website... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
