What brand of replacement tires do you have on your MDX?
After 7 years on my original Michelin’s will need to replace. I checked many reviews and Michelin Latitudes or Premier don’t seem to get great reviews. Are there alternatives to a Michelin that work well on the MDX? What tire do you use and have you gotten a good experience using them. I drive in rain or dry roads in the city or short highway jaunts most of the year. We aren’t known to get much if any snow here on Vancouver Island. Tire size is 255. 55 18 inch 104h speed rating.

After 29,500 miles, on my Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus tires, I do not notice road noise.
I've never noticed any skidding or loss of traction on wet or snowy roads. They won't compare to actual snow tires, but they have been just fine in 6-8 inches of snow.
As a note, on how manufacturers name their tires...When they sell tires meant for "trucks" they usually include the letter "T" in the tire's name. So, a tire named "LT" means that the tire was designed for a light truck.
Truck tires are made with a different compound (for trucks) and are usually not as comfortable, nor as quiet as car, suv, and crossover tires.
Look at the "spec" section , on tirerack dot com website, for any tire brand, in your size. You can look up tires, on that site, by vehicle.

The OEM Michelin Latitude Tours don't have the best reviews but I have had nothing but good luck with them. I've had 2, 2G MDXs and had them on both. My Current 2011 is on its 2nd set with about 50k on them and they still have a few thousand miles left on them. They are still quiet, balance well and handle the rain and snow great. Not as well as new, but still good for the tread they have left. Im going with them again within the next few months again.

Got Hankook Dynapro RA33 in a sweet deal from Pep Boys. Pretty happy with them.

Nokian All weather tires
I have a 2014 MDX with tech package and we live in Minnesota where it is still snowing this year. My tires had about 38k miles and were a bit worn to try and get through another winter of snow. I put on some Nokian, WRG3, 245/55 R19 tires because they had good reviews for winter driving. I took it out in 8" of snow and it didn't slip a bit, even starting out or going up a steep hill. It performs very well in snow. We recently came back from a 6000 mile roadtrip to Arizona and New Mexico and they ran very well on dry highways as well. I am very pleased with these tires and I think they run much better than Michelins in the snow. They may be a little noisier but I'm willing to trade that for good snow performance.

I have continental tires from discount tire that I put on at the end of 2017.
So far no issues other than a nail in one of them. We had some snow this year but it melted within two days so not much experience in the snow with them.
