Default Replacing OEM Dunlop 235/60R18 103H Tires

I have a 2010 Q5 Premium Plus 3.2 with about 32K miles. I am thinking about replacing my OEMs as my dealership indicated that the tires needed replacement. Any recommendations as I am looking for an all season tire. Thanks!

The Michelin Latitude comes in that size and is OEM on my Q5. Also that tire and its snow tire match was recommended by Consumer reports a couple of years back.

I replaced the dumb Dunlops (OEM) on my 2012 Q5 at 26,000 miles. I gathered opinions from the folks here, of course, and the Contis & Michelins were two of the best rated for my purposes....majority of my driving is highway. I chose the Latitude HP 103H, 235/60/R18. 5000 miles later I have no complaints.

My 2010 Q5 had Goodyear excellence 235/60/18 managed 35k on them. They were rubbish if you strayed off anywhere or in thinnest settled snow. Replaced last year with Michelin latitude cross. Wintered without any snow this year, they look a little chunky but I quite like that. Unusual! 5k in they show little signs of any wear. They just do what I need them to do.
