Continental CrossContact LX20 Tires on a 17" Rim

Any one put on the Continental CrossContact LX20 ??

and if so how do you like them?

I have to make a decision by Fri am to return my Firestone Destination LE2s They kinda hop at highway speeds. I have the Destinations on my Ranger and Honda Element and they are smooth as silk. The 4th time I tryed to get them balanced, the shop I used had the Hunter Road Force machine and one wheel failed, and they remounted. never got the Lb Values though. It helped about 70% but still aint great, not even close to my other two cars.

Thanks for any input!!

If you didn't have similar problems before the tire replacement, I believe you have a defected Firestone Destination LE2 tire. But if you'd like to change to other tires, here are partial lists of 225/65R17 tires in different categories for your comparison. Personally I believe T-rated Continental CrossContact LX20 Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season tire is fine and should be much better than O.E. Yokohama Geolandar G91A Light Truck Highway All-Season tire. But since the top speed for our CX-5 is 120 mph, I'd stay with at least H-rated tires as T-rated tires are designed for the top speed of 118 mph.
