I ran the Yokohama A008Ps for years, and loved them, and was sad when they became unavailable.

If you can afford it, I would go with the CN36s. How many miles per year do you drive? The tires might "time out" before you wear out the tread. I have not heard good things about the XWXs.
I’ve had XWX’s on mine with no complaints

Mine are on 15x7s. They do look chunkier but I like the look
