Recommend tires for a 2005 X5

My car currently has Michelin MXV4 tires. Should I get the same tire ($225 per tire at Costco) or is there a better tire out there? I live in Chicago so need tires that can handle snow.

I put on Michelin Latitude Tour HP, and they were horrible. The good thing about Michelin (and Costco) is there is a 30-day return policy. So, I returned mine to Costco and went with the Michelin Latitude Sport. The Costco Website didn't list them as a possible match, but the service manager was abler to order them for me. Huge difference in handling. Now, the bad news - I live in a tropical environment so can't comment about the snow issue.

You can enter your vehcile make, year and model on tirerack.com It will show you what's available. I've never gone wrong with Michelin tires.

Thanks. I did go to tirerack and got General Grabber HTS tires based on the reviews there plus the recommendation of a reputable tire shop in my city. Already tried them in snow and they handle much better than the old Michelin ones.

I am on my second set of Continental Cross Contact LX tires on my 2006 X5 3.0.

I live in Massachusetts, and they are quieter than the Michelins, and work much better in snow. I run them year round, and got 42K on the last set. I liked them enough to buy them again without hesistation.
