I am looking at the Nokian Tyre One All-Season for my 18" wheels also. Both Kyle and Consumer Reports say they have good (low) rolling resistance. They start with 11/32 in. tread, vs. the Primacys with 8/32 in. They are warranted for 70,000 miles, vs. 45,000 for Primacy. Noise and comfort are rated good by Consumer Reports.
The first winter I had my current car, I went out and bought a set of generic steel rims and Nokian Hakkapeliitta's. Expensive but oh so worth it.
I also have the Nokian Hakks as mentioned by others.
Studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 9, give them their own rims, 4-5 years of always being able to stop, going is easy, it's stopping that matters.
I’d also recommend the Yokohama Avid Ascend series as a good all season, and the Nokian One (it’s a new tire, I’m running them on my fiancé’s car right now and while they aren’t the quietest, if you’re not a car buff they’ll be perfect for you)
On my work vehicle ( 2011 Ford Escape AWD) studded Nokians.
HD thrust arms are an improvement without too much sacrifice. Better shocks as well. I’ve found tires make a huge difference with the E39.
I'm a fan of Nokian WR G4's for year round use. We loved them during our MN winters and enjoyed that we could keep them on all year.
I had a LOT of luck with my Nokian hakka R9s this winter on the LX470, but it's a studded tire. the x-ice were quieter but that's possible due to studs. As of now, I would highly recommend Nokians.
It was a commonly traversed dirt road, a little soggy after a rain storm and I backed my dad\u2019s brand new 2008 335i into a small mud depression with the right rear only. Result? Absolutely dead immobile
