They’re absolutely terrible in the snow. I switched to Michelin CrossClimate 2’s.
Cons: terrible in the snow

If you want a standard tire and not oversized or off-road, you can’t do better than Michelin defenders. The just don’t wear, and they’re great all over Colorado. I take them camping and I get less noise and good gas mileage on road, and I’ve never been stuck offroad. Great in the snow too.
Pros: less noise, good mileage
I freaking love my Michelin LTX A/T2. I’ve got about 45K on them and they look like they’ll go another 30. So quiet and compliant.
Pros: quiet and compliant
Mileage: 72420 km
So far I have almost 2000 miles on them and they feel and look just as good as new.
Pros: feel and look new
Mileage: 3218 km
I can only talk about the X-Ice Snow and for only one season, its probably the best performing winter tire I've used and is rather quiet. They claim they'll outlast their major competition but I can't verify.
Pros: best performing, rather quiet
Cons: longevity unverified
The Michelin Road 5 and Road 6 have a "GT" version with an extra ply for heavier bikes. I have Road 5 GTs on my RT and Road 6 on another bike and they're pretty great.
Pros: pretty great
CrossClimates are good in winter but take a penalty in MPG & noise because of that benefit (the 2 biggest complaints in reviews).
Pros: good in winter
Cons: MPG and noise penalty
Just replaced mine at 24k, and this was after comments from a tire shop when rotating them that they were shot at 17k. I bought a tread gauge and sure enough they were all in the red, and the inner front tires were bald.
Pros: bought new tires
Cons: tires were shot
Mileage: 24000 km
I ditched the runflats and got Michelin pilot sport 5s. Best thing I ever did
Pros: best thing ever
Vehicle:
MINI
At first I thought they were decent but now at 20k miles they don't grip nearly as well, even with my AWD. I turned off traction control the other day and with a damp road (not raining) I did a 4 wheel burnout up to about 50 mph.
Cons: poor grip, high wear
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 32186 km
