They didn't have 265/50R20 295/45R20 tires (same).

And still expensive
Michelin - Latitude® Tour HP™

  • 275/40ZR20/XL 106W Price per tire: $336.99
  • 315/35ZR20 106W Price per tire: $391.99
  • The tire price does not reflect an Installation Package charge of $14.00 per tire (plus disposal fee), which will be added at the time of check out.
So total w/o installation $1458+tax I love michelin's but I'll try Toyo PROXES STII, people satisfied with them and I saved $840

Just got my Conti ProContacts on today. I know, I know, they aren't high performance tires but I only have the 3.0 with stock 17s. I took off Micheline. The tires so far are absolutely silent . took it to 80mph and only hear the wind, not even a whisper from the tires. I never noticed how tires could be so different but wow. I also noticed a big imporvement in ride comfort, it was alway comfortable, but now it is noticibly better.
On the downside, I did notice the sidewalls are slightly softer than the Michelins. A slight loss of performance, but huge gain in comfort. They are spanking new so I will see how they are in a month. I only paid $900 at the stealership for alignment and all.

So far so good, no complains. Tires fit well, filling that got taller .

Thanks everyone for help!!!
