Switched to CrossClimates from Defenders. They are unequivocally better.
Owner reviews for tires
Have a set of X-ice for the winter. Can't go wrong with Michelin's.
I have Kumho Crugen on my 4runner. But I am very happy with these tires. No road noise at all.
Ending up going with some Yokohama Geolandar CV G058. Had em for 8 days now. I have noticed my fuel economy is slightly better on the G058s
The Defender LTXs have been great on my Highlander. Nice ride, quiet, good traction, long wearing too.
I have the defenders on my 2017, I have had them for 2 years and didn't put my snows on. They are a good all season tire and aren't noisy
The second day I owned my '22 Highlander, I swapped out the OEM tires for the Michelin Defenders. They are by far my favorite tires. I live way out in the country on a dirt road that doesn't get plowed for hours after a snow storm. These are truly year round tires and I don't have any problems in six inches of snow. I can't rate them high enough. Just fantastic tires.
I’ve had very good experience with Michelin Defenders. They are a good quality tire and I would highly recommend. If you live in a snowy state, they do fantastic in the snow.
I didn't like the MXM4 that much and after 24k miles I had to replace them. I have really been enjoying some non LRR Continental, only hurt range 1%-3% and I can turn corners faster (and this feel safer in an emergency)
I had the Nitto 420S on my Ram SRT-10. The tread virtually did not wear, but they had the worst wet traction I've ever experienced by the time they were 5 years old. They turned to rocks despite still having 90% tread. No rotting or cracks.
