General ht60 grabbers. On my second pair. Very smooth and quite. I love them and they're a lot less than michelins.
Owner reviews for tires
The defenders are a very good choice. On road performance is no different than the defenders, they are just as quiet, but have a slightly more aggressive tread.
I found with my PHEV's the Volt and ELR that messing with the air pressure makes a huge difference. The Volt ate tires until I went up to 42 psi cold( rec is 38 ). Then they wore smoothly across and got better mpg. The ELR, the stock tires were total crap. I put pirelli cinturato c7 tires on it and their sweet spot was 40 psi, the ELR is heavier. They were also dead silent compared to the massive droning the stock tires had.
I got Cooper Discoverers and was very happy with noise, look, and tread life.
Been pleasantly surprised at how good they are. Car handles as well as it did with stock tires. They have 65K mile warranty. They also are not louder than stock tires.
I personally love my q5. I'm running a novice pace, but I love the confidence they inspire. I have zero questions about the level of grip I have. The rear does get greasy after 3-4 days however.
Get some continentals, love those tires
That said, I really have enjoyed the Michelin Cross Climate; amazing rain traction and very cushy. Only knock is that they are a little noisy in sweeping turns.
I noticed a small (5-6%) loss when I put Nokian ones on but I only have about 1000km on them.
These are my winter tires in Michigan. Seasonal roads only, they suck otherwise for off-roading.
