What, in your opinion, would be the best tires for a 2009 Ford Escape XLT?

I like the Goodyear ASSURANCE All-Season tires. It's a good priced tire with a 65k tread life...

We have 2 Ford Escapes and loved the Michelin Lattitude Tour tires. They were first class in almost all ways -- noise, wear, traction, etc. Sadly they quit making our size tires. We've had excellent success with Continental Cross-Something 25. But sadly they also quit making them in. our size. Now we've gone to Yokohama Geolander CV and they've been excellent. I sure wish the Latitude Tours were still available, however.
