Finally got them to swap for the Michelin Latitudes and I couldn't have been happier to blow the extra money. Well worth it in my experience.

What you did there was put passenger car tires on a 2,5 ton SUV. That often compromises the handling characteristics- did that once with the Kumho Ecsta SPT on my X3. From then on, SUV tires for SUVs only.
