We just decided to downsize to 20 inch wheels on our X for range, towing, and ride. I was resigned to paying 1400-2000 for tires with Pirelli or Continental, but it appears that Yokohama just entered the market with a high performance, all-season SUV tire. They make all sizes for Model X, both 20 and 22 inch. All sizes are speed W rated and XL load rated with load index of 106 or 108, ample for GVWR of the Model X at ~2200 lbs per tire. I scored a set for 830USD shipped, whereas Pirelli Verde's were going to be 1400 plus, continentals even more.
I really like the Pirellis, but I have always liked Yokohamas too. I'm excited to try them out and will report back here. My impressions will be influenced by the switch to 20 inch lightweight wheels too, as I've never driven the X with anything but the Turbines.
It looks like the X-CV's just came to market in April/May. Has anyone else put them on their X?
