GV80 replacement tire selection...

[mtrot]

First, it seems we need some sub-forums for the GV80, such as one for Wheels, Tires, brakes, suspension.

As to replacements for the OE Michelin Primacy Tour A/S tires, what alternative tires have you tried? I just picked up a used 2020 V80 3.5T with 20k miles and the stock Michelin are pretty much needing to be replaced. On my Buick Enclave, I have tried the Pirelli Scorpion Verde A/S as well as the Scorpion A/S Plus 3 and they rode too hard. I returned a set of the latter to Discount Tire and got a set of Continental CrossContact LX25 and they indeed provided a noticeably more plush ride.

I'm now leaning towards a set of the Continental LX25 or Vredestein Quatrac Pro+, which are extremely high rated for a nice, quiet ride and great traction.

Thoughts much appreciated.

The 255/40R21 Michelin Primacy Tour A/S is stock on my GV70 Sport Prestige and I've been considering the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ for my next set of tires. I've read good things about them. I want a quiet ride, and the Michelins have been great on freshly paved roads, but that's about it. They're noisy and rough on anything else. The dealer here loaned me a GV70 Select with 235/55R19s recently (also with Michelins), and it was significantly better, so the problem isn't all with my Michelins. I love the look of the OEM wheels, but the height of the sidewall is definitely a factor in the ride and comfort, so I might have to buy some new wheels as well. We'll see.
