I need new tyres for my ML
Ok guys, I will soon need new tyres for the beast. I currently have Dunlop SP5000, which to be honest I am very happy with. 98% of the time I am on road, the other 2 % is snow use. Do you have any recommendations that would be worth considering?

Has anyone used the Michelin Synchrones?

I personally like the Michelin CrossTerrains. Most of drivetime is spent on the road.

Costco has the Michelan Cross terrains for $140/piece till June 30th
I was quoted $613 (tax incl.) installed for all four with life time rotation, balancing and flat repair...

Am getting them done today...I believe that is a very good price for these tires..

Does anyone know of any other place where these can be found any cheaper??

The Michelin tyres are the best however because of their good stick quality, they wear out fast.
I would recommend Bridgeston or Uniroyal tires for the price/quality !

mihir_d, That's a good deal for those Michelins. I saw $175 at Tire Rack and my dealer went to $160. Congrats man!

I've got 50K miles on my Michelin Cross Terrains and they still have life left. I'll probably get at least another 10K out of them.

They are excellent in snow, rain and dry weather. Highly recommend.
