2006 4.8 tires

[italy107]

i had one of my tires replaced 6 months ago. i heard that they are no longer making these michelin tires any longer. and tire rack has run out of them as well. anyone know of any tires that will look just as good on the truck as the original????

I love the Toyo Proxes ST IIs. Tire rack does not sell them though. A good looking tire that is just as expensive as the Diamaris are Dunlop Sport Maxx

I happen to have 3 tires from my X5 2 rear and 1 front with 10k miles on them and in very good shape. If these would work for you we can work something out.

i have just over 10,000 miles on mine now.

I bought a set of Bridgestone Deuller H/P Sport front & rears and IMO they are better than the Michelin stockers. Half the cost of oem, and a better ride. Tread wear seems to be better too so far. Tire Rack should have them as a direct replacement size.

If my math is right, you can get a complete set of the Bridgestones for what it would cost you to replace only the rears with Michelins.

So far, I've come up with Conti 4x4 Sport Contacts, Conti Cross Contact UHP, Nitto Invo's, Toyo Proxes ST II's and Pirelli Rosso's and the Bridgestone Dueler HP Sports in our sizes...

I need a set of front tires due to replacing both front air shocks and then being told by the stealership that a front end alignment was not needed. Needless to say, the fronts have squared up and feel like kakapoopoo at 45 and then again at 65mph.

I really recommend the Bridgestones. They are a quality name brand, they look and ride great (a little softer and quieter than stock), and handling is just as good as the stock Michelins. And you're right, you can just about get 2 complete sets of the B's for the price of 1 set of Michelins. I'm going to buy the B's again when the time comes.
