Not sure of the current situation, but at one time they put Firestone Affinity on the LX and Michelin Symmetry on the EX. The Michelin seems to be a much better tire.
About the only thing I am confident is better as as all season tire and gives longer life is the the Michelin X-one. If you are looking for high performance handling and do not care as much about life, I am sure you have other options.
Beware that the tires seem to be small for the way the odometer and speedometer are calibrated, so if you do change, try to get something that is a little larger in diameter. On an O2, the logical change would be to go to 235/65/16 unless you want to change wheels. Unfortunately, I do not believe the Michelin X-one is made in that size.
I need to replace my Firestones. Have been considering X-ones, but wondering if I should settle for the Symmetry. Not only less expensive but easier to find.</font>
