Smile Tires for 2008 GL450

I need advice for replacement tires for my 2008 GL450. I have the 18inch Michelin tires 1 year old and 19,000 miles and need replaced. Any suggestions? I am more interested in a better wearing tire with good wet and snow handlling.

I have 19's but my OEM Continentals are going to make 35K+. Some here would argue differently but that's my experience. I have rotated every 5-6K.

I agree with scottybdiving, I had the Michelin Diamaris on my 19" standard rims, they lasted 15-18K before they got noisy and annoying. My father had the continental on his ML63, now they are on his ML55, they are still running after 20K miles without any noise.
I'm running the Contis on my 22's now, and im really happy with them, but as with the michelins you need some dedicated snow tires if you're seeing any real snow.w
