Best All Season Tires for 4.6is

The original equipment Michelin Diamaris is no longer found in the 315/ 35/ 20 size for the rear sets. I was able to find the front sets 275/40ZR20 on Tirerack website for $355 each.

Has anybody been able to find the rear sets in Diamaris anywhere? If not, what's your recommended brand for the rears? Assuming we use new Diamaris on the front set?

The Diamaris was a summer performance tire and has been discontinued for years.

That’s a very good tire! Those came on the 4.8 I recently bought and they are great.

Is it more bumpy with the pilot sport? How's the noise level? What do you have on the rear?

I'm thinking of getting the Continental Extremecontract DWS 06, All season performance tires. They have both front and rear sets and the prices are pretty good too.

I have the Continental DWS 06 on my X5 and am very happy with them except when they get low on tread they are noisy as ****.

My vendor claims I got the last set of 315's available in my district and noticed Tire Rack shows limited stock on them as well.

Hoping they don't discontinue them, it's a really good tire for a decent price in the 20" applications.

I can vouch for the Lattitude also. I have them on my X5 and they are a nice tire. But I run squared 295/40R20.
