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 !!

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.........!!!!
