E53 4.4 SP Tire Replacement

[scchang]

2001 E53 4.4 SP. Should I go with OEM Diamaris (on my third set now) or try something else? Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport look interesting. Not interested in run flats. Appreciate any thoughts.

I'll vote for Pirelli P-zero.
2 winters (I drive about 10000 miles a year), they are fine in snow, powder and slush. Ok on packed snow on reasonable incline but forget steep incline in packed snow.
When brand new though, I got stuck behind school bus who went sideways on steep incline, had to dodge the traffic in and out the packed snow cover road w/o problem (try stop and go in snow on steep inclide if you dare using bad set of tires )

This summer I got a puncture, took it to the shop and the shop said unrepairable so they called Pirelli for replacement. Cost to me $0 for 1 brand new tires . Now everytime I look for tires I look for Pirelli first.

I had my front two tires replaced last week with the Michelin Diamaris 4X4. The tire shop guy said that Michelin will pbe phasing out the Diamaris and replacing them with the Longitude (or something along that nature) and would also cost a little more than the Diamaris too.
