I thought tire rack was good but to be honest just go to a mavis, they will beat any online advertised price.

Same size as stock GLE tires. It's Ziex ZE-512 uni-directional all season tire.

Personally, the Ziex is much much better than hunder-dollar Michelin Pilot series.

Yes, when my 99 was brand new, it came with the Pilot XV4, IIRC. The road noise of Micheline is pretty bad. Whenever the road is wet, my "slip" signal will flash frequently. But they lasted until 50K~60K miles.

The Falken ones are much better. I feel much less road noise and better grip, especially on wet surfaces. Currently I am using the second set. The first set of Falken lasted around 45K miles.
