for '02 ML 320 A/T? What I have right now is Continental.

I've got Michelin Latitudes which are my third set of tires on my 02 ML (now sporting 167k miles). After replacing the OEM Dunlops in kind the first time around, I decided to try the Michelins. The difference is unbelievable, smooth, quiet and overall great performance.

Mike's ML

I have Michelin CrossTerrains on both my ML's. I put the Michelins on right after the crap OEM tires wore out. They are a world of difference from the OEM's. Unfortunately they don't make the Cross Terrains for SUV's anymore. Michelin now calls for the Latitude XP's for the ML's. I hope they will be as good a tire as the X-Terrains.

I have a 2001 ML430 with 71K miles and echo Mike's ML comments: ran OEM Dunlops to 45K miles, replaced with much improved CrossTerrains (from Costco $750 for 4), then after taking a piece of sheet metal and lag bolt in a rear tire, was forced to move to the newer Michelin Latitudes. Costco had me pay a prorated $125 for the one damaged tire and they replaced the other 3 as road hazards, no cost to me. I only recommend Michelins at this point for this vehicle.

I also run Michelins on my 1988 300SEL and my Audi A8L. Shop for the best price and then get the Michelins. Costco has $60-80 off on a set of 4 (coupons a few times per year). It is worth joining and getting the tires if you aren't a member. The above may seem like a commercial for Costco, but I am just frugal, they had the best deal, and they treated me well.

I never thought I could better the two sets of Michelin CrossTerrains until I slapped on a set of Goodyear Fortera Triple Treds; just an amazing all season performing tire and they look great on the ML.
