Because one can get all four tires for the price of two dunlops.

Maybe in the U.S.A. Different story here in Canada.

The Michelin Tires don't respect the indications of load for the rear (110). Only 106

I repeat, In non ROF, Only 3 manufacturers propose tires in:
- the dimensions (Front: 275/40/R20, Rear: 315/35/R20),
- the indications of speed (W: Front & Rear)
- the indications of load (Front: 106, rear: 110)
of X5 in 20".

Vredestein (Ultra Suv Sessenta), Yokohama (Advan ST) and Bridgestone (Dueler Sport HP)

110 load is only useful when you plan to heavily load your car (more than five passengers plus cargo), if not, 106 is more than enough.

I was going to get the Latitude Tour HP - I think they ranked #1 on Tirerack in its category a few months ago and many members here have said much positive. I never got around to buying and now when I'm reading about the Yokohama Parada Spec-X it sounds like every single driver loves them - they are now #1 on Tirerack and they cost almost 1/3 of the Michelins! I'm going for non-staggered, minimally over-sized 275/45-20 on 214s.
Thoughts?
