Michelin Latitude Tour HP REVIEW Please

I need to replace my wifes X5 tires (20" Wheels). I am looking at the all season Michelin Latitude Tour HP. There are only a couple of reviews on tire rack about these tires, so I am looking for some first hand experience. We live in Fort Campbell KY; so the weather is that split mess of just enough winter temps and precip to make the All season tire a good option. There just isnt enough winter here to warrant a full set of winter / snow tires.

Any first hand opinions about these tires Pros / Cons, will be greatly appreciated.

Tire size limits my options.
275/40ZR20
315/35ZR20


Thanks
Dallas

Latitudes on X5

Hi there.
I bought a set of Michelin Latitude tour on November 2007 for my X5 3.0d and have them for about 8,000km now.
Although I have them in 17'', I think the experience is probably the same.
I live in Greece, the weather since Nov. is between -10oC to 25oC and i'm very happy with the handling - excellent ride, without noise.
I travelled with them to Austria and back (-20oC, icy / salted roads and felt quite well, even on speeds about 160Km/hr).
Would recommend them without any hesitation!

The Michelin Latitude Tour HPs are excellent tires.

They are quiet, handle better than the original Michelin Energy on my 3.0 sport. They also have a high tread life rated at 440, compared to Energy which are 400, and Diamaris which are 220.

Very happy, with no regrets.

Thanks for taking the time to give me some input on these tires. I have Good year F1s on my M3 and have been very happy with them. My issue is that there are so few choices in a all season tire in these sizes that the choice is almost made for you.
Thanks again for you input.
