I am getting ready to replace my Diamaris with Latitudes. I was wondering what things you guys have to say about the Latitudes now that you have been able to put miles on them. Is the driving/handling dramatically different than the diamaris or just what you would expect going from a performance tire to an all season?

I had my local discount tire order a set of michelin latitude tour hp's. Today I got a call saying that the fronts are on back order nation wide and they won't be making new ones until next year...

TireRack shows est avail 11/29/11. you going to wait it out or go with something else?

I've had the Tour HP's on for a little over a month now - haven't had any snow yet, but they're good in the wet, very smooth and exceptionally quiet. hope you have some good luck and they come in sooner than later

I talked with the guy at discount whom I placed the order with. After some calling around he was able to find some in a warehouse. I last talked to him on thursday so I expect they should arrive any day. So it appears that I have a full set!! Ill feel more secure when they are here and mounted I am happy to hear such good comments on the tires!! I feel like spending the extra money for michelin tires is always a good idea. It is a lot of money but I would be far more disappointed if my BMW didn't handle like I expect it to

Tires are mounted!!!!!!! Michelin tires are great and these ones in specific are awesome!! I am so happy I was able to locate a pair. They have only been on for one day. They handle almost as good as the diamaris but are buttery smooth and have very little road noise. I am excited to put some more miles on them and then I will have more to say.

I put these tires to the test crossing Nebraska in an all out ice storm. They kept me cruising with no traction issues.
All of my normal driving in MN/WI this winter has gone great.

I highly recommend these tires!

That is great to hear the tires perform great in winter weather. I have had the tires mounted for at least 3 months and at least 1,000 miles. I love them. They are comfortable and quiet. I am surprised that the performance is not that different compared to the diamaris.
