I opted for the Toyo Open Country H/T's after a long conversation with the tire shop. I was hesitant as when you look at their website they appear to market to light trucks versus more sporty SUV/CUV's.

While the ride comfort is vastly improved especially on the torn up streets of New Hampshire and Mass with this crazy winter, I feel it lost too much of it's high speed handling characteristics. Long swooping on-ramps that the Michelins handled in the 60-70mph range are not as tight with the new tires. Could be they need some more miles though.

If you're looking for smooth, near silent ride and are willing to give up some cornering characteristics, these are definitely the tires for you. I still have a few weeks to decide as I can swap them within 30 days where they were purchased. Will update in a few weeks.

As a side note, they were pretty good in snow as well. Much better braking and turning abilities than the Michelin run flats ever had, no surprises there though!
