Our Q7 doesn't even have 20K on it yet and the Conti's are pretty much done. I'd like to get an all season tire and probably will not get another set of the Conti 4X4 Contacts as the mileage was so dismal. So it comes down to the Goodyear LS2, Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport and the Yokohama Parada Spec-X. Anybody have these tires? Did I miss any other tires? What's good?

I recently had the Yokohama Parada Spec-X mounted and like them so far.

What was OEM on your Q7? Noticed the lower pricepoint on the Yok's

Default I have been satisfied with the Michellin Latitude Touring HP since October, to replace the stock

Conti's which gave out at ~21K miles. These 20" all seasons have given me a better ride than stock. They are highly rated according to Tire Rack. However, I learned here in the forum that they are pricey compared to the other options you mentioned.

Is that a winter or mileage change?

Default The second generation (S/T ll) Toyo Proxes have surpassed my expectations and

are truly the best all season tires I've found - yes there are better dedicated season-specific tires out there, but I am constantly in heavy snow and ice (1/8 mile driveway at 8500 feet) as well as curvy blacktops in Northern Arizona and city driving in Phoenix.
The new tread design is much better w/ mud &amp; snow, corners better in dry, and best of all is MUCH quieter than the previous design. @ $200 per which is not bad for performance all-seasons.

Mileage. Plan to run them year-round.
