XL tires are typically used on trucks for the ability to handle higher load weights. My Conti ProContact SSR have 22k miles on them and still have some life left.

Do you carry a lot of thing in the back? If so, the XL might be a better option.

Maybe, but XL tires are able to handle higher load weights because they can be inflated to higher pressure. Sometimes they're used for cars that track, because of that higher pressure capability. But higher pressure results in a harsher ride. If you don't inflate them to higher than normal pressure the ride won't suffer, but they won't handle extra load either. I can't see needing them on a GT. If you're going to a tire for other reasons and it happens to be XL that's OK, but I wouldn't buy a specific tire only because it's XL.

Assuming you went for a 95 tire load vs 99? |

A tire that seems to have low awareness, is not XL nor all-season, but is performing beautifully for an RFT is the Michelin Primacy3 ZP. Not usually in stock, but Discount Tire or Big O tires can order. After reading so many mediocre Driveguard reviews online for noise/harshness, I was very happy to find these. If you don't need all season capability, these Grand Touring Summer tires seem to be a top choice.
