Xc90 tyres

[btom]

I need to replace the tyres on my wifes Xc90 and I'm really reluctant to pay through the nose again for anything 'premium.' The last set of Continentals we had lasted just over 12,000 miles and so I'm looking for something other than the brand.

Anyone have any experience with budget tyres on an Xc90, like Nankang or Hankook?

Any recommendations?
