Thanks to everyone on here for helping out with the tire decision. Ultimately after reading all the reviews i decided to take the leap and go with the Continental LX20 with ecoplus.
I have about 1k miles on them now and here is what I think -
Pros -
Very quiet
Unbelievably smooth and absorbs a lot of bumps
Amazing in the rain and standing water
Fantastic in the snow (drove on ice and 6 inches of snow and I couldn't even get them to spin out in 4H)
Con -
No increase in MPG in fact it has gone down about 2%
Overall I am very very pleased with these and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. It is like night and day over my POS Yokohama Geolander H/T-S.
