I purchased four Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum Series 245/40R18 – W Rated for my GS back in June. I absolutely love them and highly recommend them. I am in GA. They are quiet, and perform well on dry and wet roads. Honestly, I think they're a great value and performer for these vehicles. No cons to report after about 5 months and 5,000 miles.

Thank you, your comments seem to validate my research!

REPLACEMENT TIRES FOR 2007 ES350: My Wife's car:

The car is driven primarily by an older woman, Real Estate Broker about 14,000 miles yearly in Louisiana (no snow) Existing tire wear is almost down to 3/32 tread at 30,000 miles and I am now seeing some wet traction problems.

I am looking for your recommendations.

I have researched Tire Rack reviews and owner comments etc. and based upon those items I am considering replacing the OEM Michelin MXV4 215/55R17 V Rated with a tire manufactured by Kumoho.

I know nothing about Kumoho, however I see they are sold by Sears and the Military Exchange System (AAFES) among others and Tire Rack thinks highly of them.

I would probably select the Kumoho Ecsta LX Platinum Series 215/55R17 – W Rated (The high speed rating is not for excessive speed but for sidewall stiffness and a lower tire sideway roll when cornering)

Does anyone out there has any experience with Kumoho tires especially with this model of their tire, (Kumoho Ecsta LX Platinum). Installed on a Lexus ES350 or any other model Lexus?

If so I will appreciate your input and comments both pro and con.

Thanks in advance,

Joe
