Michelin had 2 models in the Pilot series - Sporty and Street Radial. The Street Radial was excellent, while the Indian made Sporty was horrible.
Pros: Street Radial was excellent
Cons: Sporty was horrible

I had Defenders on my 2010 Escape. Loved them and they were so quiet rolling down the road.
Pros: quiet rolling
Vehicle:
Ford Escape
I downsized to 275/65r18 Michelin Defenders. Mpg and handling/noise are much improved. Close to 19 around town and 21 on the Hwy.
Pros: improved mpg, improved handling, reduced noise
Vehicle:
Ford
The last years all the Michelin tires I have sold and mounted have been less than impressive, took lots of oe ones off with fairly low mileage 20 to 25k ,for my money hankooks generally have been a good value and have become my go to brand
Pros: good value
Cons: less than impressive
Mileage: 22500 km
I just got out of the Pirelli Scorpions and into Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUVs. AMAZING tire! First time in a long time I'm not running all season tires and the car sticks so well in corners it's mind boggling. Cabin is around 60dB at Interstate highway speeds.
Pros: amazing tire, car sticks well
I also replaced them with Cross Climate 2s as soon as I could. Took me a month but sold the set for $300 with 99 miles on them
Mileage: 99 km
I used Michelin's second tier called "Uniroyal Tiger Paw Ice & Snow" and they were great for winter but poor in wet and dry pavement .
Pros: great for winter
Cons: poor in wet, dry
I would suggest replacing those tires (this applies to model 3 and y) with a Michelin pilot sport 4s if you live in warmer climates and Michelin pilot sport 4A/S for people who experience temperatures below 10 degrees for more than a few days of winter. The acoustic foam adds unsprung weight to the wheel and beside the pilot sports are far stickier and much softer ride. And better performance in every category.
Pros: stickier, softer ride
Cons: adds unsprung weight
I have a MYP that came with Pirellis. I got 27K miles out of them, but being that they're summer tires, they had zero snow ability and didn't perform well under 45F. I just got all new Michelin Pilot Sport AS4's and they are so much better in every category. The ride quality is a massive improvement and they handle better imo. They're also all season and have a much higher tread life.
Pros: better ride quality, better handling
Cons: zero snow ability
Mileage: 27000 km
What's most important to me is the traction: dry, wet, snow. I want one of the best all season tires I can get, regardless of the sound or ride quality. I ended up going with Michelin CrossClimate 2, lots of reviews out there and I believe one of the best all season.
Pros: best all season tires
