I went with Solar 4XS+ available from Walmart. They are manufactured by Sumitomo tires. These came in really cheap at $350 for all 4 tires including lifetime balance and rotation and road hazard warranty at Walmart. These are 89 H rated, so a bit soft which cut down the road noise a lot compared to my previous Bridgestone Ecopia. Efficiency is the same as the Ecopias at 4.3 mi/kwh but they ride smooth and quiet.

Pros: smooth and quiet ride
Cons: bit soft
Mileage: 3000 km

I just replaced the MXM4s on my SR+ after 42,000 miles with the Pirelli P Zero AS Plus Elect and have a whole 25 miles on them. Noticeably smoother ride and quieter.

Pros: smoother ride, quieter
Mileage: 42000 km

I went through this exact debate 6 months ago, and I got the Pirellis. They are similarly quiet to the Michelins (at least as best as I can tell). Grip is good, better than the Michelins for sure. Efficiency seems to be very close... I'm certainly within 5%.

Pros: good grip, quiet
Cons: efficiency very close

Just swapped my OEM Bridgestones on my 21MY for Pirelli scorpions. Seems to be a quieter and smoother tire. I think I could have gotten maybe another 5k out of them. Haven’t been far but truly like them.

Pros: quieter and smoother tire
Mileage: 29000 km

I've had these on for a few days, so I can't give a comprehensive review, but here are my first impressions.

The 70,000 mile warranty was the biggest selling point here. These are 700AA on the UTQG scale, so much harder than the 400 UTQG Continentals that I'm used to. I expected stiffer feel over bumps and louder road noise since they don't have foam, but these actually seem softer and quieter. The traction is noticeably worse in dry conditions, haven't tested on wet roads. I got them to spin out from a stop, but maybe that was just breaking them in, because now they don't seem to lose traction. The biggest downside is the reduced steering precision. These have a very wavy wandering feedback to inputs, my friend says it may be 'tread crawl' from having thicker treads than the old ones. The Continentals felt like a scalpel on winding roads, these are more like a rubber scalpel.

I need to try a few more situations, like rain, but I think I'm going to end up liking these better because the increased comfort is more useful to me than the performance.

Pros: softer, quieter, increased comfort
Cons: reduced steering precision

- I drive the truck hard, but expected to get more than 16k miles…

Cons: low mileage, wear fast
