Costco is good. Michelin defender 2 i just got, almost weird how quiet and smooth they are. Best tires for these cars IMO.
I just bought a new set of Michelin Defender 2s there, after doing a ton of research (I live in a non-snowy area, and prioritize quietness and mpg) The price all-in was better than anywhere else, and the install process was fine.
Get Michelin from Costco. They were very good for my 2008 Sport AWD. They lasted the mileage that was promised and never had any issues on snow.
I bought tires from Costco for my 2020 Rav4, ordered online, made an appointment and came back in a few days, I bought the Michelin CrossClimate2, I'd say it was worth it and with the Costco credit we had it was only 200 dollars for 4 new tires which was great.
I just got my Cross Climates there a couple months ago. Price was same as Tire Rack which is where I usually go, but included install.
The tires themselves are good, noise level and ride quality are comparable to the mxm4 (I can’t tell the difference) and when giving the car a bit of acceleration I was able to handily control the car around some wider turns.
After reviewing the comments out here, I went with Michelin Defender 2’s and couldn’t be more pleased so far (2000 miles). I picked up about 3mpg (36.9!) in town and up to 6 more (granted following my friends in their RV at 60 mph - I got over 40 mpg then). They handle well in rain or dry, are relatively quiet.

I've used them on track when I was starting out. 3350 lb awd 350 hp car. Chunking on sides. Not a track tire obviously but a great do-it-all.
Had the same ones on a Crosstrek. They take the cake as my worst tires. Period. They handled worse in snow than my now Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires, which is NOT a high bar. And only lasted 40k miles before the tread was done.
