I'm fixing to buy a set of the Premier LTX. I'll post about them in the near future.

May be a little too much tire for the wife's Enclave.

Hmm, you're right. Not sure where I came up with 10/32....could've sworn I read it in a press release somewhere.

The Latitudes are 10/32. Maybe you got it from there?

Update-

I was planning on running the MXV4s through winter and replacing when I found a nice deal. DTD was offering a couple rebates on Cyber Monday. $100 off 4 tires and $60 if purchased with their CC.

I went with the Continental Pure Contacts. DTD pricing was $120 per tire. The $160 rebates made them $80 a piece. At that price I couldn't pass them up. Sooner than I had planned,but this winter's predicted warm,dry El Nino hasn't shown up. We've had 16" of rain since September.

They were delivered last night and installed at DT this morning.

The MXV4s had 61K miles on them in about 49 months. My wife had put 6000 miles on them since September.

they should sell like hotcakes on craigslist if they look decent.
