Have had Defenders on the 2013 Sienna, a heavier vehicle than the Highlander, and they lasted me 53k miles...could have gone longer, I thought I had a worn out tread causing noise that turned out to be a bearing.
I went Michelin from Costco and I have no complaints. They are not noisy and have been great in the snow we just had in Minnesota this last season
Switched to CrossClimates from Defenders. They are unequivocally better.
Have a set of X-ice for the winter. Can't go wrong with Michelin's.
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.
While I do notice the comfort and quietness of the Turanza Quiettrack in the week I've had them, so far, sometimes, it feels like I'm driving in mud, ie the car feels sluggish. The fuel efficiency has also decreased noticeably.
It's doesn't matter what you do. Seems like Bridgestone tires only last around 40 ish. Learned that with the quiettracks.
