Hi folks,
I own a 2000 MB ML430 SUV. Only has 130K miles and is in perfect shape but needs new tires. Absent some unknown catastrophe, I plan on keeping the vehicle for many years to come. MB tire specs are 275 / 55 R17 109H. I put on 10K to 15K max miles per year.
So what are your thoughts on the "best" tire out there? I'm OK with paying the "Michelin" price.
Beside Michelin, I'm considering Hanook, Yokohama, Geolander, or Pirelli. Bridgestone no longer manufactures a tire in this size.
Want a tire that can go for 60K miles, is "quiet", and does well in all seasons and varying road surfaces.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts / experiences.
