Need new tires for the 13 GL550

Time for new tires, have the original OEMs on it which are Continental UHP. Over all they are ok, find them a bit noisy on long drives. What are some good alternatives, or should I just stick with these?

I'm running Michelin Premier LTX. Over all good tire. Quiet and comfortable. Good on dry and wet roads but sucks on snow covered roads during braking.

Continental Extreme Contact DWS6 tires will handle much better than the OEM CrossContact UHPs in rain & snow. They should be a little quieter than the UHP's too and are highly rated.

I too installed DWS06 last week and seems to better, before putting DWS I had put on Pirelli All Season Plus and drove 3K miles on it, it was going good, quite, and wearing even but my gas mileage dropped by 1 or 2 miles, then I switched to DWS06 and gas mileage went back up to normal, not sure if it was my tire, but I could see the mileage go up right after I drove off Discount tire.
