I've had good luck with Michelin tires dating back to the ones on my mom's Golf when I was in high school. They tend to be a little more expensive than other brands but they're a sure thing.
Factory tires are extremely mid. If you'll be driving in harsh weather conditions you should plan on upgrading them. I put Michelin CrossClimate 2s on mine and am very happy with them all year round.
x-ice on another FWD SUV and they did well.
Had the Michelin X Ice on my gen 1 for a few seasons. They worked great.
I had Defenders on my 2010 Escape. Loved them and they were so quiet rolling down the road.
I downsized to 275/65r18 Michelin Defenders. Mpg and handling/noise are much improved. Close to 19 around town and 21 on the Hwy.
I just got out of the Pirelli Scorpions and into Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUVs. AMAZING tire! First time in a long time I'm not running all season tires and the car sticks so well in corners it's mind boggling. Cabin is around 60dB at Interstate highway speeds.
I also replaced them with Cross Climate 2s as soon as I could. Took me a month but sold the set for $300 with 99 miles on them
I've heard that those Michelin Pilot Sport summer tires wear out quickly but that's ridiculously quick
Th Michelins that came on my wife's '12 Escape hadvcracked sidewalls. There was an issue with some Michelins back then. Her tire model was in the recall, but not her size.
