All-Season Tire HELP

[salenks]

Hello,

I am new to this forum. I have a few questions and hope someone will be able to help me. I tried searching the forum but didn't get an answer I was looking for.

I recently sold my 2002 BMW 325xi and purchased a 2003 BMW X5 a week ago. It came with Goodyear Wrangler HP tires which were rated really badly on tiretrack.com.

There are 3 tires I am looking at: Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus, Michelin Latitude Tour HP and Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza. I am leaning more towards the Latitude or MXV4. At one point I was considering Pirelli ATR but my friend who also has an X5, has had very bad experience with Pirellis. That friend is telling me to get the MXV4 but the reviews are better on the Latitude.

I will be taking the car to Eastern Europe where I will be using it. I need a quiet tire that is good on dry and wet roads and can handle light and deeper snow decently since they don't really use salt there and they don't clean the roads that often either. I can't afford to by winter tires separately. I will be using it 97% on the road and 3% (or less) off road and nothing serious (old gravel roads). I need a safe tire since I will be driving my 2 1/2 and 1 year old children.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you,
