Lexus ES330 with 25k miles on it and the original tires are done. They are V rated tires and she wants to go with something thats going to last a bit longer this time around. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for something thats not so high performance but still a good tire that will last longer. The tire size is 215/55/17 for those who are really looking into it.
Thanks,
Bryan

Continental ContiTouringContact. Good long wear all seasons for pretty cheap.

I sent my dad to Tirerack to do some research if nothing else and he came back feeling pretty good about these Goodyear Tripletreads... I think thats what he's going to go with...

hey thanks for the replies... actually ended up getting some Goodyear Assurance Tripletreads I think they're called... they sound like a good tire and last a loooong time. They were definitely recommended to me by a few people...

I wish I saw this thread earier!!!!

Brian.. be careful with those. On a lot of vehicles they tend to pull to one side or the other. Toyotas and Lexus' are really sensitive to tires.
