I special ordered Michelin Pilot Sports from Costco.com for an E39 2 years ago along with a $100 discount and got a free Sandisk 256MB mini MP3 player as a Michelin rebate. It was a very hassle-free transaction.

I'm interested in the Latitude tires as well, but I have at least another 15-20K left on my Diamaris. The Diamaris is a far more agressive looking tire; the Diarmari's shoulders are more square and have more of a performance look that the Latitudes.

Awesome...very good info since I have never bought tires from them (on-line) before.

Damn, did someone wake up on the wrong side of the keyboard?? That was a bit harsh. Don't ya think?

He was telling someone they should buy snow tires for year round use. That is rediculous and i hate when people give bad advice. Someone might believe it and get screwed somehow. Yea its a bit harsh or maybe your just a bit soft.

The Advans ST would be my second choice, but they aren't as widely available as the Michelins or Toyos. Also the extra weight (6 lbs more than the Diamaris per Tirerack) is a consideration, but perhaps not a deal breaker on an SAV as compared to something like an M3.

Relax...no need for name calling. Although DinanM3 might seem a bit harsh, but he does have a good point. Afterall, this is a public forum. So you have to be able to take critical comments even if they're unkind. Don't expect anyone to sugar-coat anything...that's the only way to get good honest opinions/suggestions/comments.

Toyo Proxes have my vote. Best tire for the $$$. Look mean, sound is ok. Ride is even better than I hoped with 20's and they are amazing in the rain.
