My vote is for the Michellin Cross Terrains. My brothers ML has the Dunlops and mine are definitely quieter and have better isolation; it's like a whole new car for me. My father has the michellin LTX's on his truck and I still think mine is quieter but his are also pretty good. (all are light years beyond the Generals)

The michellins have a 65,000 mileage warranty on them so if the other guy found his wore out too quickly he should be able to get that taken care of. It's like night and day versus the generals as far as noise and isolation are concerned. I also think they handle better but I also swapped the rear shocks at the same time so I can't definitively say that it's only the tires.

With regards to price.... 2 points.... 1) how often are you buying tires anyway & 2) it's the only part of your car that touches the ground, do we really want to cheap out here? (your choice of course)

I've also heard very good things about the Kuhmo's but don't have direct experience with them.
