Needing a set of tires in P235/55/R19 for my '15 Kia Sedona. Tire marketing is funny, all I can find in this size is specifically marketed toward truck/CUV/SUV. Am I safe to assume there is no functional difference between a minivan and the aforementioned vehicles when it comes to tires? I don't think there exists a tire in this size geared to passenger cars / minivans.
Lots of Chinese/east-asian no-names in the $160-200 range, then much better choices to consider when you get above that. I have my eye on the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 @ $229, perhaps a bit cheaper if I shop around. That tire seems to get rave reviews for ride quality, noise and comfort, which is probably the primary attribute I'm looking for on this vehicle. The 70K treadwear warranty is a nice bonus, but I tend to wear tires out by age moreso than mileage-- but that's probably going to change now that I have a garage to keep my vehicles out of the elements.
Any others I should consider in this price range? No real need or desire for winter traction (above normal all-season performance)-- we drive one of the older vehicles anytime we get snow/ice, which is very infrequent. So the all weather tires like Michelin Crossclimate are out, I don't want to compromise treadwear, ride quality etc. for better winter performance as there is no real need.
