did you see this?:Consumer Survey Results By Category

sounds like the Spec-X might be the way to go... #1 ranked in the category and $129 a tire!

Yoko Pradas are indeed very nice. Their performance is good and they look good too! My friend has them on his Rav4.

When I had my Jeep Grand Cherokee, I put on Yokohama Geolanders instead of the pricey Michelins.

I never once regretted my decision. The Geo's lasted a LONG time and the traction was good on wet and dry and off-road.

The only slight complaint I had was the road noise on wet roads was worse than with the Michelin or the OEM Goodyears I had on the truck, but it was not unbearable.

what size? if you have 20's you might be good to go. the 19's don't have a sufficient load rating for the truck.

look at these Store

i have 1200 miles on mine so far and i like them.

I dont have the 20 on my X5 the tire size is 255/55/18. I looked at the tire rack web site and I dont think they make Yokohama Spec-X in the size I needed. I do have a discount tire close by so I will give them a call.
