Winter tires Runflat 2010 ML350 Bluetec - any suggestions?
I am in the market for new tires, and was thinking of trying out some winter tires. Does anyone have any suggestions for run flat tires? I have a 2010 ML350 Bluetec.
Alternatively, I might just stick with a new set of Michelin Latitude Tour ZP. I did not like the original Bridgestone Dueler H/L 400's the vehicle came with. Has anyone tried the Continental or Goodyear Eagle GS-2. Some of these are on the TireRack site for BMW's, but why wouldn't they be OK for Mercedes?

Dumped the "run flats" from our 2011 bluetec completely last year. Replaced them with Continental Cross Contact LX20s. So far so good. I did pick up a 12v compressor and sealant for an emergency repair. I made this decision after discovering that the original tires were only rated to run 35 miles at 35 MPH with 10 psi. Not the true runflat rating of 55/55/0.

NOKIAN WR G2 SUV RUNFLAT ALL-SEASON
An update ... I found locally a new set of NOKIAN WR G2 SUV Runflat All-Season tires in the size I needed. These tires (made in Finland) are also rated for snow, and supposed to be tops according to reviews that I have found. They seem to drive well for the short time I have had them. Snow is here, so we'll find out soon enough.
