Tires
Would like to hear some different opinions on tires and what brands/models have gotten some decent miles .
We have tried a few different brands .. Have used 3 sets of Yokohama’s and they definitely have a nice ride but for the money would like to get close to 40k miles but have NOT yet. We just put a 70k mile set of Pirelli’s on a ML350 and at 10k they look great..
Has any one used a set of 275/55R19 Hankook DynaPro HP2 RA33 ? Or any Hankook models? I found some great pricing and heard a few complaints about road noise?
I took off my 21” wheels on both GL550’s and went with 19”… with all the dirt roads and out of state driving
I do with my bird hunting after getting a flat in the middle of nowhere I decided I wanted 19”’so I could have some sidewalls and buy a tire if needed.
Thanks for any replies

I have Conti`s on it currently at 133K miles. Extreme Contact DWS, they came with the car back in November 2022 when I bought the vehicle, at 105K miles, they were already about 50 or 60% back then.
With the exception of 8K miles (because I put the winter tires on) I think I can still make this summer with them, even next one. I noticed the letter S disappeared on all of them but D and W are still there pretty good.
After that I don`t really know how much I would invest on the rubber to be honest, either spend the money and go with Contis or Michelin or go with cheaper option. Since they are 21s they are pricey. Time will tell I guess.
To answer your question, I have no clue when those tires were put on the vehicle but remembering the wear back then, they should be there a good 20K miles. And they are still quiet, I`m happy with them generally and good grip.
