Thank you for the link to that tire test.

After reading that I think that I might go with the Artic Alpin. That shows better performance than the Pilot and is less money too. I was trying to stay with the "H" rating but the "Q" rating may be good enough as I never drive over 99 MPH anyway.

And for my next summer tires I'll consider the X-One as that comes with a great mileage warranty.
