I run Michelin X-Ice on my stock 17" wheels.
I have them on my 250l and they work great, they get the job done off road while still providing a lot of grip on road. The tire compound is quite soft which helps on road.
I've had very good luck when I have michelins on the car. Much better grip/wear/noise than the factory goodyears.
Michelin is better than Pirelli IMHO. I've had Michelin PSS tires on my Audi and they are great performers.
Tire technology keeps getting better and better, I guess the new Michelin PSS vs the old Pilot Sports is a good example. Better grip + better tire life, who could ask for more?
I've gotten close to 40k out of a set of PSS.
I'm guessing I'll probably be able to get about 25k miles out of my PSS.

It's amazing how much better your car feels with good tires.
Another vote for the Continental DWS... I have had them for front tires on my '06 for about a year..only reason I haven't replaced the stock rears is because they still have tread left at 73K!(they are Michelin Primacys which are a nice tire but only under dry or wet conditions..tread life is awesome, but they're terrible in snow)
