Default 19" tire choices

Did a search but everything I was finding for tire recommendations was for 20" I currently have contiprocontacts that don't have much tread left. I live in the northeast so snow is a factor, but I also don't drive much, under 10k miles a year, typically closer to 5k. My first instinct was just to go back with the OEM Contiprocontacts. But I also see some high performance tires such as the Michelin Pilot sport A/S 3+ or Pzero asimmetrico. One question did come up was the Pilot are no XL rated. How important is this, when I rarely have a full car, the majority of the times it's just me and maybe a passenger?

This is what I plan on using when my Continentals wear out. One of the best all seasons out there IMO. I'm in NJ and we don't get enough snow to justify snow tires with AWD. On my wife's FWD I am putting snow tires on her car.
