Best Tires to Replace Factory GLS63 P Zeros

What's the best tires to replace the GLS63 factory Pirelli P Zeros? I love the way this car handles with these tires but I cannot justify buying them again because they really do not last long on this big SUV. Any recommendations? Thank you.

I'm going to look at Tire Rack to see what they have. If only someone made a tire that handles as good as the P Zeros but have better longevity.

Im in there now... the ml was traded in for a 16 gle36s coupe.. 22's so i would think tire choice is limited but actually quite a bit of choices...

Today i have the OE tires, Pirelli Pzero MO, and frankly they have lasted much longer than the Pirellis on the ML... im at 8k miles or so and not near the wear bars at all... pleasantly surprised... they are chunky when cold but do loosen up eventually...
not loud....

Still have that vantage ? I love those... may be my next purchase....

The Michelin PS4 SUV look interesting. Wear rating 220 and designed for Performance SUVs.

I still have the Vantage and am actually trying to sell it. It only has 30k miles and all the service done. Shoot me a PM if your interested!

Looks like a good replacement for the GLS63. I don’t think it’s a max performance summer tire like the P zero is though.

Both Contis are one of the OEM tires used on GL63. Conti 5 is a Max Performance SUV summer tire made specifically for SUVs. P Zeros is a Max Performance car tire which is also made in SUV sizes.
