Actual performance? Cooper AT3s (no joke, those tires are freaking amazing)
Owner reviews for tires
I replaced the junk ProContact TX tires on my 21 SEL-P with ExtremeContact DWS 06+ a few weeks ago. Went to Mammoth this weekend, where it has been setting records for snowfall. The 4motion, along with these tires, performed fantastically well. Very pleased with them.
These are the Michelin Defender LTX M/S. Went up slightly to 265/65/18 with no rubbing!
My vehicle spends 99.9% of the time on surface roads, so road manners are incredibly important. However, I do plan to do some very light off-roading (Big Bend NP) in the near future, so I wanted something a little bit more capable than the OEM tires. Not to mention, I think the original tires were meant for a slightly lighter vehicle, as evidenced by the fact that they were beginning to show significant wear around the 20,000 mile range.
In October I ordered **oversize** Michelin PILOT® SPORT ALL SEASON 4s. Stock size: 255/40ZR20. Size I bought for a better look on the rim, added rim ding protection, better look on the car, and more "meat" on the contact patch was 265/40ZR20. Yes, they fit, no problemo.
With these Michelins, my Y is a bloody snowmobile. Can go just about anywhere, even pulling a trailer up and down steep snow/ice covered Tahoe roads. :-)
I had metal-studded Semperit tires on my Toyota Celica. It ran like a tank up and down those snow-covered mountain roads!
I just bought Michelin LTX Defenders last week for my 2017. Best tires you can buy hands down.
my wife’s Hybrid Highlander came with Michelins. I forget specifically what but I’m hoping they’ll last over $30k
Costco Michelins for the win. On our ‘15 Highlander and my ‘11 Tundra.
My TLX came with Michelin Primacy A/S tires and they were very quiet . They were not grippy enough for my liking though, so I ditched them for the Continental DWS06+.
I have found it quite hard to predict, but Bridgestone were extremely noisy for me. Then I had Michelin which were slightly quieter but still didn't satisfy me completely.
