Tires for the 4.8IS...opinions?

All, I searched through some old threads and still feel like I lack direction on getting new tires.

I was just going to get some new Diamaris in the stock 20" sizes, but I am not considering both the Advans and the Latitudes.

Can anyone who has had either please comment on the following related to the OEM Diamaris.

Noise New
Noise @ 50% tread
Noise near bald
Wear Rate (# Miles/Driving Style)
Do they wear even?
Handling Dry
Handling Wet
any other things you would consider important

Thanks in advance for your help!

Tom

I read all that tire rack had to offer

Thanks for the advice. Most of the reviews were for the smaller wheel dimensions and smaller tires sizes. Anyone with opinions mounted on 20" OEMs?

Tom

Not a Toyo fan either. Advans are good. http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e53-forum/...-released.html

Hey Guys,
When changing tires on the 20" style 168's, do you need to change all four tires or is it okay to just change the rears? My rear tires are worn out, but the fronts should be alright for a while.

Will there be any adverse affect if I just change the two rear tires? TIA!
