My priorities (I'm sure not yours):
Must be quiet.
Must not bang going over SoCal's quickly repaired concrete freeways.
Must have an interesting tread.
Should at least handle wet conditions reasonably well.

I really want a set of Vredestein - Ultrac Sessanta's (one diameter up to 255/40 - 19 in the rear) - but impossible to find.
I only need Summer tires, but willing to compromise since the two picks below are All Seasons.

Questions:
Will Nito 275/35ZR - 19 fit my rear wheels okay? I really don't want to go wider, but this is the closest (without going smaller) that is available.

If any of you have used or are using Nitto NT NeoGen on your similar XF, what is your take on quietness including going over bumps?

Same question but BFGoodrich G-Force Comp-2A/S?

Attached is a copy of an eMail I got a few years back from a dealer in Florida that handled the Vredestein tire line. I needed a specific size for a 1993 Suzuki Swift GT I owned and Vredestein was the only tire manufacturer that still produced the size. Might be worth a shot if you're really interested in Vredestein.

Later,
