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?

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.

2015 - GL 550
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.
