The first two entries don't show a brand are probably the OEM Continental Cross Contact LX Sport All seasons which I got on my 20" Plaid and I guess are these https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Continental&tireModel=CrossContact+LX+Sport

Winter tire options are pretty good, including Blizzak and X-ICE

And these winter performance options:

And some Michelin Crossclimate Severe Snow rated all seasons

Any recommendations for summer Plaid 20"?

what are best replacement tires for for 2022 model x plaid for stock 20 inch rims? Also almost every model x with the 20 inch rims comes with a 265/45/20 on the front. Ever the current 2023 model x plaid comes with the 265/45/20 contenental all seasons. But since i have a 2022 plaid which was the only year and only model x that came with 255/45/20 on the front Michelin summer tires


what tires should i go with??? so i change to all season since i assume all season will last longer and even the 2023 plaid comes with all season now. should i switch to the wider 265/45/20?

Any recommendations for summer Plaid 20"?

The only summer tire I see for the Refresh X with 20" is:

I'll go with X-Ice or Blizzak in the winter on the 20".
