New tires for my 2006 X5 4.8iS - HELP!!!

[WarrenG12]

I have the dealer and most tire shops telling me to go with the Michelin Latitude Tour HP, but I have also heard good things about the Toyo Proxes S/T, Dunlap, and even Bridgestone.

Tire sizes are: 275/40 20 (front) and 315/35 20 (rear)

Any help would be great. Thank you.

I'm not sure on the Toyos since we do not carry or test that brand, but I can comment that the Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport and Michelin Latitude Tour HP are the top two tires made in these sizes that have decent treadwear. Between the two, the Bridgestone has better dry/wet traction, cornering grip and steering response, while the Latitude Tour HP has a bit softer and quieter ride along with better snow traction.

I will physically take a look at both sets today. I appreciate the timely response.
