From Tire Rack I bought: 275/55R19 Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus. I also had the dealership do an alignment. I am very happy with these tires at this point. They drive very well and I find them to be quiet.

If the Michelins were available I would have jumped on them. Love Michelin (but no actual experience with the Premier LTX).
