I got exact same tires as yours, Michelin Defender LTX 275/65R18 at Costco two years ago, about $1200. Pricy but nice tires.
Pros: nice tires
Cons: pricy

Michelin Cross Climate 2 are great in the rain/wet. Very happy with them.
Pros: great in rain/wet
I'm in Buffalo ny and I can't stand the CC2 tires had them on a Dodge minivan. In fresh snow where nobody else has driven these tires were actually really good but as soon as you got into the street where people were driving already Boy oh boy did that front end slip around all over the place. After stopping at a red light or a stop sign I would be stuck trying to go with other vehicles flying around me super disappointed in these tires. With the high rating of these tires I really expected a lot more. I switched to a used discontinued firestone and now I have the best grip ever. The difference is unbelievable
Pros: good in fresh snow
Cons: front end slips
Vehicle:
Dodge
Depuis des années je ne mets que des Crossclimate sur mes 2 voitures, les meilleurs pneus que j'ai jamais eu et de loin, excellents sur le sec comme sur le mouillé, et d'après les essais et vidéos que j'ai vu, excellents aussi sur la neige
Pros: excellents sur le sec
The CC2 is money. Great in everything I’ve thrown at it including significant snow. I’ve run them on both of our cars. The only semi negative I’ve encountered is they can’t be rotated in the typical method.
Pros: Great in everything
Cons: rotation can be difficult

I'll say that I used to insist on Continentals on my VWs, but when they weren't available for my former Touareg, the Michelin Cross Climate 2 was highly recommended and I felt I was settling, but took them as they were what was available. Then I found that there was magic about those tires! In all my life I had never driven a vehicle that performed as my Touareg did with those Cross Climates. I even had a long time VW friend drive it and he said that it felt as if the Touareg was floating down the highway. The tires were perfectly quiet
Pros: perfectly quiet, magic tires
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Touareg
We have Michelin XIce 3’s on our QX50. No issues climbing Mariner St, Johnson St or David
Pros: no issues climbing
Vehicle:
Infiniti QX50
I also have the Defender 2 though I didn't quite make as deliberate a choice. I jumped a curve in a parking lot and did sidewall damage (some metal bit on a storm drain) to my stock tires, and I had the car towed to Discount Tire and the Defender 2 was the only good option in stock at the time.
