need new tires for 2012 ML 350
I'm sure there's a thread for 10 in here somewhere but I've got to make a relatively quick decision so I appreciate any recommendations.
One of my tires (front right) on my 2012 ML 350 has inordinate shoulder wear, and the front left is getting there. We're not sure what caused the issue but we need tires. The rear tires are ok for now but I've always been under the impression that with an AWD, you must replace all the tires at the same time.
If this is the case, what tires are most recommended? This is a daily driver with 111K miles. I'm looking at the FS Destination LE3.
If there's a link to a discussion about tires for the ML 350, I'd gladly take a referral there. Thank you.

Not necessarily a suggested purchase source but it does list tires Mercedes thinks are appropriate …

I had a similar problem even though the alignment was spot on. It could be a sign of shock absorbers being worn.
I put Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV on and could not be happier. Smooth, quiet and no aquaplaning. Best tyres I've had so far. Reviews were very good. They're expensive but not that much more than others that are fairly average. I can't comment as to wear but so far so good. I'd gladly do them again at this point. Size was 265/45/20.

Won't speak to what tires to put on, but unless you like replacing tires too soo, I'd be finding out and fixing why the tires are wearing incorrectly before replacing them
