Note the 235 run flats have a UTQG of 400 (treadwear rating) AA, that about 20,000 miles. The Pirelli's have a UTQG OF 800AA or around 70,000 miles. You can't go wrong with these tires, takes about a week to get them thru Amazon.
Tire Rack ratings-----------------Bridgestone's are beyond bad.

I will most likely go with MICHELIN PRIMACY TOUR A/S when those darn RFs worn out, currently at 4K miles.

I put Continental CrossContact LX25 tires on my Q7 and love them. I'll consider them for the NX, but would likely end up with the CrossClimates as I've heard a lot of good things about them.

I have the 18 inch Michilen Defender LTX tires which have A rated traction and temp. Had these on my previous highlander. Are great tires and good in northeast type snow conditions where streets are decently plowed. Been able to get through 4-5 inches of snow no problem. BUT Michelin stopped making this tire and now has the Defender T &H. I noticed it has a B rated traction though. So I am weary.
I have thought about that Pirelli AS. But also see a new Bridgestone Alenza AS ultra. Has A rated traction and temp and has good mileage warranty.
those Michelin cross climate seem to be reviewed well, but I am not crazy about the look of the tread. I also fear the tread might not achieve as good mpg as a Michelin , pirelli or Bridgestone . These look like they can give a quiet ride and have decent snow traction.
well this is my 2 cents. My Michelins still have a lot of tread left so have time to consider these tires. The run flats just did not provide the more secure traction in winter time. So I switched to the Michelin Defender LTX and very happy
