2019 XT5 Prem Luxury 235/55-20 Tires. The Michelins were wearing and chunking out before 40,000 miles. I just replaced them with Firestone Destination LE3's. Amazing !! $60 Rebate so only cost $740 out the door. They are very quiet and responsive. Turning the steering wheel feels very light. No noise going onto concrete. The Michelins were terrible.

Hi Joroan, little update, so last week I replaced my XT5 stock Michelin's with Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3's. The Michelins had 30k on them about 1/2 life. Wow, what a difference. Pirellis are so much quieter than Michelins. They are smoother also. (Even from when Michelins were new.)
I drove 1,100 miles RT SF bay area to Vegas, highways, mountains, pouring rain, light snow. The Pirelli's are really nice.

I also give a thumps up for Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3’s. Replaced OEM Michelins @41 K. So far so good with handling of the tires with road trips from DC to Cincinnati. Tire Rack gives the Pirelli’s as the number one recommended tire replacement for the XT5.

As posted elsewhere, I replaced the Michelins with Continentals a few months ago, they're very nice! Sounds like just about anything other than the Michelins is an improvement. Discount Tire wanted to sell me the same Michelins, wonder if anybody went that direction?

I was checking my tire pressures today, and discovered I have three 102Hs and one 102V! I'll be visiting Discount Tire soon! 🤦‍♂️
