About to buy Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 255/45 R19. Concerned about noise. Had Michelin X-ice on previous M3 and liked them but not made in 255/45 R19 size. Comments re noise and performance?

I had ice x 3 on model y performance with custom 20 inch martain wheels.I really like my X-Ice3's as well as they have provided good traction and are quiet and efficient. Why not go with the newer version of them, the X-Ice Snow?
Michelin is not making that size for the foreseeable future. If you can find some online then great, but I can't get them through either of the dealers in my area as they are completely sold out at the distribution hubs for Michelin and are not "in production" at this time...I really like my X-Ice3's as well as they have provided good traction and are quiet and efficient.

1 had an issue, I went to discount tire for a replacement, they have told me that the ice x will not support the weight of the car.
They refused to replace the tire.
I see them being sold in packages on t sporting.
I'm confused,,has anyone else had this issue, or was the computer wrong at discount tire.
I'm awaiting delivery of my MY and also ordered the exact same tires and Tesla TPMS but on different rims. Read so many stellar reviews on these tires. Looking forward to your feedback.Just ordered the 19 Conti Viking Contact 7 snow tires mounted and balanced on EV01+ alloy rims (Fast Wheels) with Tesla TPMS. Will report back on the ride quality etc. We get a dump of snow occasionally where we live but wanted to be safer than sorry. If I like the rims I might switch out the all seasons and mount the snow tires on the Gemini wheels
Just installed them today (delayed in arriving due to BC weather conditions). Nicely balanced, smooth and quiet. Now it won’t snow because I have snow tires on…I'm awaiting delivery of my MY and also ordered the exact same tires and Tesla TPMS but on different rims. Read so many stellar reviews on these tires.

Hey after buying and installing the sottozero 3 255/45 R19. The next time I get winter tires I will go with the wider sottozero 3 255/55 R19. The 45s pull in a bit and there is almost no amount of tire to protect the wheel.About to buy Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 255/45 R19. Concerned about noise.

Hope that helps!
