if you can, stick to the Nexens - best price to quality ratio I've used thus far. :) Great Korean company.
Pros: best price to quality

I’d go with the Michelin Defenders. I bought a set of Michelin X Tour A/S 2s (Costco version of Defender 2s) back in April 2023, and after almost 3 years and 70k miles, there’s still plenty of tread left on them. They’ve lasted twice as long as my previous tires now, even with regular rotations.
Pros: long lasting, plenty of tread
Mileage: 112654 km
I’d recommend Toyo Extensa A/S II. I’ve got close to your size and found them to be very nice driving and quiet. Bought them last October for $107 each from Discount Tire in AZ.
Pros: nice driving, quiet
Michelin defender 2 easily out of those options. It has been a tire that has consistently lasted over 80k miles in 4 of my families vehicles, all with different drivers but regular rotations at Costco. Also has very low rolling resistance so youll save fuel.
Pros: long lasting, low resistance
Mileage: 128747 km
I've run two sets of Yoko Avid Ascend GTs on my car now. Got 45k out of the first set and I don't drive particularly easy.
They are quiet, ride well, perform great in snow and rain, and don't fall apart when you drive spiritedly.
Pros: quiet, good ride, great performance
Mileage: 72420 km
Nothing against Goodyear but I have been a Yokohama fan for the last 15-18 years. I have ran them on several cars and SUV's and they have never let me down. I usually buy all weather or all terrain and they have always lasted me well over 60k. Good wet weather traction. We don't get much snow but usually ice and rain in winter.
Pros: good wet traction, long lasting
Mileage: 96560 km
I run the Discount Tireequivalent of the control\u00a0Contact sport all season on my scion XB daily. Quite as hard as ever put on that car, which has a lot of road noise. Sticks very well in the rain and heat, but I can\u2019t attest to snow as cited above. They did wear a lot faster than their rated mileage so I got money back on the mileage warranty when I put on a new set recently.
Pros: sticks well in rain
Cons: wore a lot faster
I drove to Chicago and back on Saturday with a set of Nokian all season tires and only fishtailed once when making an ill advised lane change at speed.
Cons: fishtailed once
As a person who sells motorcycle parts for a living and currently has Shinkos on his bike for cost effective reasons. I suggest to NEVER get Shikos.
Pros: cost effective
Cons: never get Shikos
I had a nail in my tire with a very slow leak and went to a random tire shop. They did a crappy plug that was not designed for the Elite's self healing tires so I ended up with a very FAST leak instead.
Pros: plug/patch instead of plug
Cons: crappy plug, very fast leak
