Not sure what model you're referring to.

For all seasons the ones bmw540san and I got, Geolandar X-CV, get good snow performance on Tire Rack reviews.

I have 20" 275/40. They don't handle as well as the General Grabber UHP set they replaced. They're much quieter and the ride is smoother.

I got my set in September 2020 for $643 installed, including sales tax.

Sample Tire Rack reviews:

2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE400 4MATIC SUV
I have had these tires for 1 year now and have driven them in the summer and winter snow and they have performed great! These are much better tires than the Continental tires we took off the car! The wear and road noise is so much better too. Overall Great Tire !

2013 Audi Q7 3.0T Premium Plus

This car is pretty heavy, but the tires are quiet and roll great on the highway and are very sure-footed in the wet weather, snow, or ice on which we've driven them this year. Treadwear seems to be holding up well too. I'll probably put these on my other car (Explorer) when it's time to get new tires for it.


2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS450
Tire performs well, but difficult to compare these 20" beasts since I switched cars from a Volvo XC90 with Vredestein Pros. These tires performed well in light snow and ice and well in dry weather.

2014 Audi Q7 3.0 TDI Prestige
After 11k miles, through one of the worst midwestern winters that we've had in several years, these tires have been incredibly versatile. Light snow, deep snow, slush, and ice have not been a problem with these tires. Wet and dry traction are excellent. They are quiet and provide a comfortable ride, and after 11k miles are showing very little tread wear. I'm calculating that we'll get 40k-50k miles out of them - on this car, that's saying a lot.
