I will be looking to get new tires soon so what are some brands or particular models I should consider.
I currently have 235/55/19 size and as I stated in another post, I feel every little bump on teh road and the ride is now comfortable at all.
The car seems to be vibrating constantly and I am trying to get an appointment with the service tech, soon.

What say you all?

Sounds like the Dunlops might be for you based on this thread. They were decent for me while I had them. They're also inexpensive compared to other brands. But tire wear was an issue for me. They were noisy on the F-Sport I took for a test drive last month. Funny thing is I didn't have that problem on the 450h. I wouldn't rule them out if comfort is your highest priority.

What tire do you have on your 450h now?

I did some research and the Bridgestone Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia 235/55-19 Tire, @$189/tire is the most liked.
Unfortunately it is on backorder for god knows how long.
The other most recommended is Michelin Latitude Tour HP 235/55-19 Tire, but it is $258/tire.
I'll wait for the Bridgestone for a while as I have had a very good experience with them on my previous cars.

I would say to get new tires size 245x 45x 19 in
Get the best tires that ucan afford. Tires are irritant and good tires lasts longer, and gives a Rols Royce ride.
Make sure they a rebalanced to zero to zero. Then align the beast.

I have the OEM Dunlops and do not like them. You can look at the owner surveys over at tirerack.com. There are some new highly rated options in our tire size.

Same list filtered by our tire size.

I noticed the Bridgestone Dueler H/L 422 Ecopia has some of the best ride/noise ratings; but, it is a new tire design and we don't have any experience with it in this forum.

Becareful with the Continental CrossContact LX20 with EcoPlus, i'm finalizing my tire purchase today and it looks like they have some virbation issues. I checked mercedes forums, mdx forums, and the continental website. Enough users has verious vibration issues at various mileage and tread wear.

I went with the scorpion verde as

Wanted to see what brand of tires were on your new 450h when you took delivery- especially for 2013 owners. I've read some tire threads that were not happy with Dunlops that came on their cars, so I'm hoping that mine won't have them. I guess if they do I will speak to the dealer about trading them out. Thanks for your input.

Bridgestones. 450h is made in Japan (for now), so Bridgestone is probably the only brand available.
They're decent tires. I have a dedicated 18" snow set that is actually on the car right now.

I got my Pirelli scorpions today, there's actually a 60 dollar rebate for 3/1 - 4/14

Ditto on 245/55R19. That will increase the sidewall, giving a softer ride.
Maybe even something with 60 profile.
