indianapolisX5 is on a distinguished road
Just had a fresh set of Michelin Latitude Tour HP's bolted on. Disappointed that Pirelli no longer makes the Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico in rear size 285/45-19 - had two sets and was really happy with their performance, and price compared to the Michelins! $1300 at a local shop with Hunter RoadForce GSP9700 balancing - certainly could have saved some $$$ by going with Kumho or Hankook, but I'm a tire snob and refuse to put Korean rubber on my X.

I like the look of the sidewall on the Michelin better, but the Pirelli had a truly badass tread pattern that I'll miss. Of course it's too early to make any definite comparison, but the ride and noise are noticably improved as they would be with any new tire. Took it to a slightly damp highway right after they were mounted, and they were smooth and silent at 100mph straight away
