Summer Tire Question - Opinions Needed

[Dodge2Dub]

I have a 35d with the 20 inch rim/tire package (275/315). We are lucky enough to live in Southern California, so a summer tire that has good wet traction is all that is needed. The vehicle came with the Dunlop RFTs, but I would like to move to a different tire, possibly not an RFT, that still holds the road as well as the Dunlop's. Any suggestions based upon tire experience with this truck?

Also, I did a quick search on the forum, but if you know of another thread that directly talks to this, please post the link.

I have a full set of Michelin Latitude Tour HP (staggered fitment) from my X5M (20 inch stock rims) for sale. They are great all season tires. I only used them for 3,911 miles last winter for 2-1/2 months and they have a 40,000 mile tread wear warranty. New they cost $1,510 for the set. I'm selling for $999 + shipping.

Thanks, but I am looking for advice on a summer set of tires. No need for all seasons here.

Nitto nt05 will be my next tire.

I don't have direct experience with them (yet), but I'm going to be looking hard at the Michelin Pilot Super Sports when I replace my Dunlops. From various reviews, they appear to great performance and the best wear rating (with the latter being my biggest complaint on the Dunlops).

Conti DWS if they fit!

How are the large Nitto's on this truck? Still offer great performance? What about road noise and tread life?

I'm running Super Sports on the M and absolutely love them. Hopefully, the same magic can be applied to a 5,400 pound SUV!

Have you had experience with these on the X?

i havent tried the nt05 yet but will on my next tire change. tread wear is a 200 so that pretty much answers longevity.
