Question for Luke about ML tires

My current ML tires are loud and ride really rough and choppy. I have the General Grabber ST on it with about 33K on them. I want something with a quieter softer ride. I know many people with ML's say that different tires make a difference with the ride, so if u can or anyone can tell me what makes their ML ride softer and reduce the choppiness please help.

Pirelli Scorpions as far as i know are made for SUVs only?? Don't think they have one for the E55.

the absolute best tire for you ML320 is the Michelin Cross Terrain which is specifically designed for use on SUV's

(the picture was to small to identify which ML you have)

Does the cross terrain have a stronger sidewall then the General Grabber STs? Also I noticed these tires are kinda pricey, are the LTX M/S also smooth riding tires? I am willing to pay the price if I know that the ride will be softer than my Grabbers, with my tires now I feel every little bump. Also I dont want white letter writing on the tires, can I get it without the letters?

both ot the Michlein tires are available without white letters and will offer excellent ride quality. The Cross Terrain is better the than the LTX MS but, the LTX MS is a definite upgrade from the Generals you are currently using
