off topic question . . . tires
hey, i didnt kno where to ask this . . so i guess i'll jusst ask it here
scenario:: my mom gotta flat (lexus es300) so she was gonna get two new tires . .. but america tire depot said her other two had a speed rating below oem specs.
so it looks like shes getting 4 new tires . . .
question:: what are some good tires for her car? i dont want to recommend her a performance tire because all she cares about is ride quality . . .so i was thinkin about getting her some tame, low noise tires.
any suggestions? she used to believe in only michellin or bridgestone but ever since i got kumhos shes been considering cheaper tires . . .. but its a luxury car . . i dont want her riding on bargain tires. . .
thanks for the consideration.

You can just put in the year, make, and model of you mom's car in tirerack's website and it will give you a list of all the tires that will work with her car. They also have user reviews of each tire on the site. Tirerack's got a pretty good selection and competetive pricing. If you prefer to get your tires locally, ask the shop to match their pricing. Good luck.

wet weather, in my opinion, Michellins are better
Hey.
My uncle just changed all tires on his ES300, he has Toyo Proxes on and I drove it for a few weeks, I really liked the way they handled. Only downside I could pick out was they were noisier than others (road noise)
Can't got wrong with Michelin's... but Kumho's are actually not far from it. If $ is the factor, I'd lean towards the Kumho's... if not then definitely Michelin's/Potenza's.
