Got 60K from my first set of 255/55 R18 Michelin Energy MXV4. Have 45K on the second set already with plenty of tread left. Mostly flat highway driving in GA. Very satisfied customer...

I just recently got the Kumho Solus kr21 for my x5 w/sport package 19's. I previously had the Pirelli Scorpion Zero Assimetrico (which I wanted to buy again) but apparently the tires have been discontinued. I was looking at the Michelin Lattitude's as well but from reading reviews I didn't see them as being far superior to the Kumho's... plus I didn't seem them being about $400 better too. The Kumho's did have respectable reviews as per tirerack. I instantly noticed that the Kumho's are much quieter than when I bought the Pirelli's new. But the real test is coming this weekend with my road trip to Pennsylvania with the Kumho's.

I don't see anywhere the OP said what size he has? did i miss it
Anyways don't be shy on Hankook tires. I sell Hankook although only a few different ones not the full line and have had awesome feedback. I am a few months into the Vrdestein Ultrac Sessanta on my X5 and LOVE them. previously had Michelin Diamaris. The Mich is a great tire but i'm absolutely amazed by the Vredesetein. If you're on a staggered 20" set up, that's the way to go For an earlier poster why are 19's expensive, hard to find and discontinued in a lot fo cases....rarity. To my knowledge I can think of a half dozen vehicles that came factory with a 19" tire where as 20's are fairly common. Of course they never tell you that when you buy the vehicle. I had a guy at a BMW stealership try to sell me one bragging about the 19" package. I tuned him in nicely about it.... he was humbled.

Also remember, regardless of where the tire is made it must pass the same testing as every other tire. So if it has a Z speed rating, it must meet the standards of Z speed rated tires - Essentially will the tire hold together and retain its shape at X speed.
There is not different standards or testing procedures for Michelin vs. Nexen for example.
