My car was pulling to right so I went to local Tire chain to get wheel alignment. Its little better but feels loose, I don't think they did it right. They said it wasn't that bad. Anyhow, I was thinking about replacing my tires along with it because I am riding on Eagle LS2 with 30k miles on it. This could be the culprit as well. Tires are fine it has 6/32 left.
I was looking at tires at Costco and they were out of stock on Michelins(Latitude Tour, Cross Climate). Currently Costco does not have any all season tires that'll fit my car. I found Michelin Latitude at discount tires at $334/ea. I also found Pirelli Scorpion Verde at Walmart for $334. I swear when I looked at costco last year they were $225. Seems like tire prices have risen just like everything else. I also found this article which talks about trade issues. I may just have to wait a while unfortunately.
Have you looked at Discount Tires? They have tires at reasonable prices. I am ordering Pirelli Verde AS II's today from them. If anybody has an opinion on those, please chime in.They are $198 each. The Michelin's are $305. I have also considered the Yokohama YK740 GTX

Yeah I did. They had Michelins for $340 I believe. I did not see any Pirelli’s. I have Pirelli Scorpion Verde on my other car and it’s been great for 40k miles. I’d put it up there with Michelins in my experience. I have read some bad reviews, go figure. I’d be careful with Yokohama’s. I think they’re ok for a coupe or sedan but BF Goodrich, Yokohama and Tire Rack’s are the reason I moved to Costco and Michelins and never looked back. No leaks or vibration. Plus, Costco seems very honest and don’t try to sell me new tires every time unlike discount tires. I’ll have a look at Pirelli’s, thanks!
What about Tire Rack? They'll ship to local shops. I've done that very successfully for all my cars. In fact, I've used the Firestone Center just up the street from me and they've been more than happy to do the work.

They're not out of the question but I didn't have a great experience with them. I know alot of people that have. I purchased some tires from them before and had it shipped to tire store. There was something wrong with the tires(it was vibrating). The tire shop double checked the mounting and balancing work and told me that the tires were off so I had to ship them back and they made me pay for the shipping. I shipped it back asked for a refund and went to costco. I prefer to go to one of the big box stores where I can go back and hold them accountable. Costco has been great for me(repairs, refills, etc) but they've gotten busy AF.
I had the Latitude’s but they wear out very fast - like 15k fast. I replaced them with the Conti DWS and I’m happy - and they were cheaper with a longer warranty too.
I had Goodyear Eagles on the CS when I bought it, replaced them with larger Goodyear Exhilirates. I thought about the DWS06, which I run on the Q7 and others, but figured I'd try the Goodyears. They're pretty good.
And I had no issues finding the 20" size at Sullivan Tire.
Speaking of which...you might try a dedicated tire shop...they're more likely to stock "specialty" tire sizes...
I put on some Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus II's in size 265/50/19 on my 2015 CS a few months back from Discount Tire. Total price out the door was $1,102. So far no complaints.

Michelin Latitude Tour HP All season 55k
Michelin Cross Climate SUV 50K
I was gonna go for Tour HP. Which Latitudes were they? They give Costco the highest quality tires. They demand it. Never had any issues with Michelin's from Costco. Thanks for the reco on Conti's. I will look into those. I don't mind spending less. Are they durable and last without steering wheel shaking?

265/50R/19. My Eagle LS2 has lasted 30k miles. I read some bad reviews so I consider myself lucky. I don't have any problems with it per se. I don't like Discount Tires because they always try to tell me I need new tires when I go for tire rotation, nail in tire, etc. Costco does not which is why I like them. Also, I believe in my head that their Michelin tires are quality. got 60k miles each time in snow without any vibrations or pulls.

I have these on my other German car the dealer put on brand new. So far, 40k miles with couple nails. Great tires. Quiet. Smooth. I would put them upt here with the Michelins.

Latitude Sport 3 - never tried those other ones. These ones have 20k warranty and they won’t make it that long. Contis have 50k warranty and I have zero shaking or vibration.

If I was yet living in WI, I would have gone with Nokian Hakkapeliitt. Simply because of the exotic name.
Can't go wrong with Costco. Always done good work for me. And they have new stock. Some of the discount tire places may have old stock. "All tires (including spare tires) that were manufactured more than ten years ago should be replaced with new tires"
