Here are some excerpts from reviews:

"How is it over wet and slippery roads? As far as the Avid Ascend GT is good on dry tarmac, it might be even better on wet and slippery roads. Relatively, of course. I find the Yokohama to be outstandingly good in resisting hydroplaning – the car remains controllable even in puddles of water. Also, the advanced tread compound pays dividends on damp surfaces, where the Avid Ascend GT holds itself extremely well. Overall, this is one of the safest and easiest grand-touring tires to drive in the rain. . . .

"Is it comfortable and refined? You bet it is! This is one of the quietest tires I’ve tried recently, improving the refinement of almost any vehicle you put it on. That’s true even at very high speeds, and for cars that don’t have that much noise insulation. On top of that, the ride quality with a set of Avid Ascend GT tires will be sublime. Smaller imperfections on the road are almost completely eaten by the Yokohama, while the larger potholes are tempered with aplomb. This is perhaps the biggest reason why you would opt for a set of these tires – they are outstandingly comfortable over any surface you encounter."

Overall the Outback performed better than I expected with 4 occupants and a trailer, however I wouldn’t want to tow any more then 1500 pounds for the distance I traveled. Acceleration was obviously impacted but not as much as I feared, the 2.5i does have enough power for the load I was putting it under. At really high elevations and fairly steep grades I did have to decrease my speed to keep my RPM’s down

Not sure your price range, but I have Pirelli Scorpion A/S Plus 3’s on my Q5. Really quiet as far as road noise. Love em.

thanks for the tip, will keep these in mind. my original hankook tyres and 19" were giving such harsh ride I've [downsized to 18" with Yokohama All Terrain](https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModelY/comments/15fb1m8/downsized_tyres/), but now I'm thinking of giving these a go on my 19" original alloy too for summer perhaps!

I found a good deal online for some Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires. My local Discount Tire shop price matched the online deal. They’ve been surprising good on the highway and have been great in snow, too.

I just drove home from the shop after replacing my stock 20" Goodyear Eagles with Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus Elects with PCNS... WHAT A DIFFERENCE IN RIDE QUALITY!!!! HOLY COW! I HAD to share this!

With the Eagles, road noise was not as quiet as it should be with an EV and the ride quality was harsh...I really felt EVERY bump in the road, no matter the size.

After driving only 30 miles with these Pirellis today, all I can say is, "WOW!" I am impressed! Not only is the drive MUCH quieter, but the ride is not as harsh either! If I could rate it, somehow, I'd say the Pirellis are 30-40% less harsh than the Eagles...it is that noticeable. No second-guessing needed!

Anyway, on my 2022 Elantra Hybrid Limited, I replaced the stock wheels and tires with 15" aluminum wheels and Yokohama Avid Ascend GT 195/65R15 to improve ride quality and durability (pothole resistance).

My 1000 has a set of Pirelli Angel GT's that I'm still undecided on

I'm a model 3 performance owner and when my original Michelin PS4Ss wore out I had a problem because there were no Tesla spec tyres anywhere. I ended up finding some Pirelli P Zeros that were the right size but without the foam and since everyone seems to say the foam doesn't make any difference I figured what the heck, they'll be fine. They weren't. The tyres droned terribly, especially on smooth roads where the previous tyres with nice and quiet.

I had P-Zeros but they were shocking in cold/damp weather, depends on your geography but if it’s going to drop below 5 degrees C, then don’t get them.
