I haven't had issue with my khumos. Obviously I would love to have had even more life out of them but I didn't feel they were as bad in the rain and snow as a lot of people report. I am in Canada and last year was the first year I felt I needed snows on.
That being said I am still thinking of trying another tire and the pirellis look promising, but in the absence of anything great it wouldnt bother me to get the khumos again.

Just looking for opinions on what the best replacement rubber is for the OEM 19" rim.
All season preferably, but will consider summer tires as well. 225/55/19 or 235/55/19. The ones my usual tire shop carry that I am looking at right now are the Pirelli Centurato P7, Goodyear assurance fuel max and the Cooper CS5. They also carry the Khumos KH16s that come stock (which I got 50k out of). I heard the non dealer KH16s are a different/better compound so should I be considering them as well?
Open to any options, I will just have to find the retailer that carries them.
Main concerns are good tread wear and a quiet(ish) ride. All seasons preferable for unexpected snowfalls, but I have a seperate set of winters in 17s so it's not a huge priority.

Mine does the same. Ever since I drove it off the lot. I have had it inspected multiple times because, I agree, if definetly sounds like something's wrong. I have alway been told it is normal.

What is the purpose of the silver metal shields around the spare tire? I always assumed it was a heat shield. Had my DJ in to replace a sensor in the gas tank and when I got it back the right side shield was just hanging down. Took it back in to have it put back on properly and they just removed it completely and said it isn't necessary and that I was missing the left one anyway (which I don't ever remember seeing one on the left).
Thoughts? Opinions? I would assume if they were completely unnecessary Dodge wouldn't waste the time/money installing them in the first place?

Sorry for the late replies. Life got busy.
This was a Dodge dealership.
Shield was never replaced. Dealership said they contacted Dodge and Dodge stated they were not necessary equipment but only designed as a worst case scenario type of preventative feature. I have never been given any reason to distrust the service manager telling me this, so there you go. I had them document my concerns and provide me with a copy and was assured that if anything ever goes wrong related to this it will be covered by the dealership (which they also included on my file and the copy they supplied me).

Happy to say the harmonic squealing noise is gone after replacing the idler pulley, however the grinding sound when the starter first turns over remains. Lasts 5-10 seconds. Supposedly it was all part of the same fix.....apparently not. Hopefully it doesn't take another 2 years to get to the bottom of that too.

Not sure about where you live, but here we tend to try and be good neighbours. I wouldn't be impressed if I was getting woken up early every morning either. I may be sick of it but I can still understand it. The answer to this problem is Dodge figuring their issue out, not me telling my neighbour to go renovate his house.
I can hear it in my basement on the other side of the house from the driveway. It isn't exactly quiet and definitely isn't a problem with house insulation or poor windows.

At the top of third, if i am around 60km/h (4ph) there is a slight vibration and a sound like I am going over rumble strips (like the kind cut into the road when approaching stop signs on county roads).
Is anyone else experiencing this? My journey is a 2012 R/T AWD Rallye. 4 days old. Only 160km. I just thought I would ask in case it was common with this tranny or with the AWD. I will be calling the dealer tomorrow.

In the Fiat version the second dimmer is for adjusting the headlights beam height.
