ML500 5.0L V-8

Hi guys, I am recently going to buy new tires and I hear that the Cross Terrains were the best for off-roading with out having to break principle of an on road tire.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks

Goodyear MT/Rs. No disrespect to your ML, but the tires are WAY out of its league. Try them and see for yourself.

Any experience with the Nitto 'Grapplers, jangy?

Depends on what you're using them for.

Boggers FTW.

jangy - the ML is okay off road, it's just lacking ground clearence and driver skill. :o

BFG all terrains are the best IMO they are relatively agressive and quiet on the road.

And who told you that? Acura MDX owners?

IMHO, best off-roading would be:
BFG AT/KOs (*the* standard for the longest time)
Bridgestone Dueler Revos (lots of good reviews on Tire Rack)
Michelin XPCs (the old Range Rover tire)
Yoko Geolander

The first two, unfortunately, don't come in the right size for the ML320 (they're +0...255/70 vs. 255/65).
The latter two are in the right size, but I'm not sure whether they come in a size for your ML500's wheels. The ML430/500 isn't that good for off-roading because you can't' put that much rubber on because of the big brake calipers...
