Need some tires

Just got my 01 E53. Has Goodyear Assurance on stock wheels. Tire Rack shows these as best seller. Hear they are pretty durable. I have Bridgestone Dueler on my F150 and they really improved the ride quality. Be glad to give up a little durability for ride quality. My partner's (read as wife) thinks the X is a little bouncy (upgraded from E32). May have to buy a 740 to get that. Any experience would be appreciated. Tires have about 5/32 left , maybe they're just toasted.
Thanks
X newbie
Mike

Hi Mike I'm in the same boat and I'm torn between the Yokohama Avid Invigor and the Yokohama Geolander G052. Any input recent tire buyers have would be great.

Get the Geolanders, much better tread pattern in my opinion and more rugged looking tire. The avid invigors I've seen on CR-V's, they aren't the coolest looking tire haha.

Plus my mom had 2 sets of Geolanders on her Volkswagen Toureg, they handled anything.

When I was there was no I80 and all the casinos were on South Virginia.
