Hi all,

I have a mix of Pirelli and Conti 5s on the ML at the moment. Having overestimated its ability to bounce up a curb I've hammered one of the tyres and need to replace it.

As they're all quite worn it makes sense to replace all 4. The car is mainly used on the road but does occasionally go through a field, down farm tracks and pull a trailer.

I won't put budget tyres on my cars but I'm not used to the SUV tyre market so need some advice. On the CLS63 I'd go straight for Conti 5 or 6. On the Lotus I have Uniroyal Rainsports, which are incredible.

Has anyone used Uniroyals on the MLs before, what are they like? What else should I be looking at please?

Thanks!

I used Michelin Latitude Sports on my GL420 - different car, but on the same path. Had Pirelli Scorpions previously which I didn't like quite as much.
