My RX has 12,000 miles and will need new tires in a few months. I am running OE Michelin Premier LTX. As per tire rack, the best rated tires for this car are Pirelli Scorpian AS Plus 3, Michelin Cross Climate 2 and Continental Cross Contact LX25. They say the Michelin are the loudest and Pirelli are quietest and smoothest.
Is there an issue that Pirelli’s are made in Mexico? I know Scotty always is against cars made in Mexico. The Michelin’s are made in Canada and the Continental are made in the US.
I am in NJ, so being able to drive in snow is a criteria, but I would prefer something that is not noisy or rough.
Any advice?

The Cross Climate snow performance is the real deal, but yeah, noise is a slight problem (though not as bad as you think).
Theyre all 3 good tires. I’d probably get the Continentals. But they’re all good.
