Goodyear - good for a year!

My 2020 with 10K has crumbling front tires and of course, as mentioned on here before, Goodyear says tough! No warranty on tires which are factory fitted. (They must supply only defective tires to Jaguar LOL)
Anyway, looking for some 245/50R20 tires. As I am in Florida and the weather is hot or very hot I not looking for a tire good in the snow!! My main preference is for a tire which has minimum road noise. Has anyone fitted Kumho Crugen HP 71 tires. If so what is your impressions.

My dealer told me they recommend not replacing with Goodyear for the same reason.
Kumho is not my favorite tire brand. I have only ever been happy with michelin and continental, for both all season and summer. Why compromise?

Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultras were recently installed on my I-pace. Too early to say but I needed all season.
My dealer suggested Pirelli Scorpion Verde but they are not for winter.
I've been very happy with my Pirelli Scorpion Verde's.
Strange. I got 40k out of my Goodyears and I have 12k on my second set. No issues at all.

I got 40K out of my original set of GYs, but they were chunking a bit. Compared to the Contis that I replaced them with, the GYs were lighter and slightly narrower (better range), but in addition to the chunking, the Eagles had a harsher ride and less grip than the Contis.

In the end, both tires cost about the same and have similar tread life warranties. l don't think there is an unambiguous right answer here, but so far I think the tradeoffs favor the Contis for me. YMM(literally)V.

I think an answer would be if you drive gently, get the Goodyears. If you drive aggressively, consider the Continentals.

I put these tires on my 2020 after only 20,000 miles of the original Goodyear Eagle whatevers and I could not be happier. I had them through the winter in the upper midwest and they got through the snow like a champ. My tire guy told me that the tread would last longer but handling might be different (I have noticed no difference) and he said tire noise might be more (I have to try and hear the difference). I've got over 30,000 miles on this set in 14 months and they look pretty good to my way of seeing. Highly recommended.
