    Question Stock Tire replacement recommendations

    Im looking to replace the tires on my stock XK (245/65/17). I looked at the tire reviews and most appear to be on larger tires. The XK is primarily driven on the highway and im looking for a quiet high mileage tire. I would like to keep the total price under 900. Any recommendations would be wonderful. And we did not like the Stock Fortera tires

    Thanks,
    Curtis

    For mostly street driving I always liked the Goodyear Silent Armors. They were quiet and really good in the rain.

    Also check out the Toyo Open Country HT. That was always a solid performing highway tire for trucks/SUVs at the shop I worked at.

    Try the Nitto Crosstek CUV's. I'm running a set on mine right now, and they're great around town or on the highway. I only have 5k miles on mine; they're 60k rated. Buy me some decent A/T's and I'll swap 'em with you!

    Thank you for all the suggestions! I went with a set GY Wranglers and will likely provide a review on them in a month or so after a little bit of mileage

    Cool! just a reminder to you guys to post in the TIRE REVIEW thread when you can so we can keep it updated and add as many tires to it as possible.
