Default Need new tires

After driving in some very bad rains last week, I'm convinced that these Kumho tires have got to go. They broke traction and had me all over the road, and this was even with slowing down to well below the speed limit. I'm just not confident in these tires, and glad that we had a pretty mild winter this past year. Anyone else run in to similar issues with the Kumho's? Anyone had experience in the snow with them? I'm thinking of going with the Michelin Latitude Tour HP.

You might want to check also the Toyo Versado CUV....some good reviews on this Toyo tire.

My Durango came with Latitude Tour HP it is Michelin's Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season light truck tire. I pretty happy with them. After over 12,000 miles I still have 9/32nd on all four and they start with 10/32nd. . They seem to handle pretty well I have not lost traction in rain or snow.

This is the set that I'm actually considering. Do you mind snapping a pic of them? I just want to see what they look like on the rim
