Default XC 90 Tyres

Have just replaced the Continental Contacts on our XC 90 at 25100 miles.
Apparently a good mileage! The Contacts were quiet on road but were poor on muddy surfaces which lead quickly to filled up the treads.
Have now switched to Michelin Diamaris @ £584 (fitted,valves,balanced) at Ebley.
£ 585.86 quoted by ATS and Bathwick. £700 @ National. £650 @ Ski but not available off the shelf.
The Michelin Synchrones on my wife's Freelander seem to be lasting 'forever' so I hope that the Diamaris suit as well. Over the short distance since fitting the Diamaris seem quiet enough even tho' they have more cleats in the tread.
We'll see.
NB. There does seem to be a shortage of 235/6 R 18 130V Diamaris in the UK.
