1999 ML 430 Tires

OK...I know this has been beat to death......kinda' like oil preferences......

But.....

I am rapidly approaching 250,000 miles on my ML and am looking to put some fresh rubber on her. Currently have 275/55/17 Bridgestone Dueler HP that have done well and now have 49,000 miles on'm.....Here are my choices:


1. Michelin Cross Terrains 275/60/17 drive-out price $812.00

2. Bridgestone Dueler HL 275/55/17 drive-out price $792.00


As you can see prices are comparable.I am leaning towards the Michelins, but I am a little leary of the 60 height. (the reason I chose these is their price, MUCH cheaper because it is a common size, the 275/55/17 is kinda' oddball and therefore more expensive).

Just looking for any information to sway me one way or the other.

Thanks !!

Ok...if you already know that then you must know how to do a search right?
I think if you search it everyone really likes the Michellins Cross Terrains.
I am on my second set and they rock.
Nuff said.

Baby's got new shoes !!

Decided on the Michelin Cross-Terrains and I had them mounted this morning.
Nothing like a new set of tires to improve handling and feel ! Ened up getting them at Kauffman Tire for $755.00 drive/out. I actually like the 60 Series better than the 55's. ..fills up the wheel-wells and sits just a shade higher.

Had them mounted with the Blackwalls OUT.....White Relief Lettering IN...............they look great !!

Next up is an oil change and full detail at the BIG 250K.........!!!!
