Looking for new set tires that, these arexready to be replaced, that are quieter than the Michelin premier Ltx I have now....above about 65mph vibration and a little noise. Thank you for input!

Since you appear to live in MN, you may want to consider going with the Toyota Celsius CUV "all-weather" tires. They make a size 275/55R20, so they would be just slightly taller than your existing tires. But they will ride nicer than the Michelins with slightly more sidewall, handle awesome in the snow, ice, and rain as well as dry conditions, and come with a 60k mileage warranty. I have them on a set on dedicated 19" wheels that I use for winter & spring driving. They are much quieter than my stock 295/40R21 tires and have a much more compliant ride, yet handle great in the twisties. If they offered them in 21", I'd put them on my stocker rims and drive on them year round.

It turns out that Toyo has brought out the Celsius in 275/50R20. Sounds like it is the OEM tire for the new Audi Q8
