word of warning to 4.4 Sport Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico lovers - Pirelli has stopped making size 285/45-19! TireRack is out of stock and indicated that Pirelli has no plans to replenish that size! huge bummer. was looking forward to putting a fresh set on the X this spring.

TireRack recommends the following as alternatives:
Kumho Ecsta STX KL12 (Street/Sport Truck All-Season) - $850
Hankook Ventus AS RH07 (Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season) - $886
Kumho Solus KL21 (Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season) - $962
Michelin Latitude Tour HP (Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season) - $1238

anyone have experience with these? I'm not pleased with the prospect of having to bolt a Korean tire on to my X.
