nhoo1945 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I have an ES300 with 34,000 miles. Consumers Reports states that the Goodyear Assurance Triple Tred is the best tire rated for the size P215/60R16. Do any of you members out there have any experience with these tires? Thanks in advance for your replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for your replies. contact Lexusfreak, he has/had those and swore by them. Personally, I really liked the Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S on my 02 ES. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Personally I think the Triple Treds are too aggressive/noisy a tire for the ES. I have never had a set on the ES, but they wouldn't be on my short-list of what to buy. I have a set of Michelin Primacy MXV4s on the car now and of the tires I've had on it (Bridgestone Potenza RE92, Toyo Proxes TPT, Michelin Energy MXV4+, Bridgestone Turanza LS-V, and now these) they are the smoothest and quietest which is what I look for in a tire for a car like this.

Appearances can be deceiving Steve ;) Best tire I have owned especially in wet weather & they have fantastic grip & are H speed rated & also extremely comfortable on the highway. I have never complained about tire noise as it's pretty much non-existent....got them on the Wife's Subaru Forester too. Worst tire I have ever had on my vehicles by far has to be the Bridgestone Potenza RE92's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW03ES Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 They were quiet for about 10k miles and then got VERY loud. In any event I never thought they were as quiet as the Michelins ;) I'm not the only one to state that either. So BOOOYAH! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So BOOOYAH! :D lol Steve But at least we are in agreement that an H speed rated tire is more than adequate for our ES's......right Steve? :whistles: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for your replies. I have the tripletreds installed on my es330 and with a 65K warranty from discount tires and about 5000 miles on them at present I happy with the tires. i have tried various others Yokohama Avid V4s (worn out after 20K) Yokohama YK520s (managed to make them last 23K) I have no wear at all on these tripletreds.
