Tyres on a Hyundai Santa Fe

I have just switched wheels back to front as wear was uneven and the garage said the front tyres (now at the back ) had worn on the inside due to so many pot holes.

I am thinking of changing the back KUHMO 235 60 18 h 103 to michelin lattitude as have not been happy with the grip or wear. Is this a good idea, or what would you suggest?

With a Santa Fe as with many AWD systems the tyres all have to be the same make and type ND SIZE with approximately the same tread depth or the system that detects slippage gets confused and the AWD can be damaged.
