Tires MICHELIN or Continental
I currently have Continental CrossContact XL 20 in. tires on my 2020 Buick Enclave. These are OEM tires that I was skeptical of since I usually prefer Michelin tires. These Continental tires are rated at 60K miles but currently have 63,000 miles on them and don't need to be replaced yet. They are quiet and grip well.
I bought 4 Michelin 235-70-16’s for my SUV in 2021. $995.
Michelin Power Cup. I'm very happy with them
I agree with Michelin Defender II (the dealership put them in mine when I bought it, they're great)
I haven't tried the Vittoria N.EXT, but I've ridden the GP5000 tubeless since they released around 6 years ago. My wife has been on the inner tube version. Great tyre, amazing grip, even in the wet, and very fast. I've also never had a flat. The only thing is they don't last super long - I reckon about 3-5000 km depending on your weight.
I have Michelin Primacy A/S tires on my CX5, and I'm very happy with them. The ride is quiet and comfortable, and they handle really well
Hankook Ventus S1 evo3. Will not feel bad about using them for autox or track. As I picked up the cars after snow hit the ground, I took delivery with Conti VikingContact 7, which are pretty quiet.
I put CC2s on my 17 Corolla. I was worried that it would be overkill, but as someone who has pretty much always cheaped out on tires, the upgrade was unbelievable. I live in Seattle, so we don't get a lot of snow. They handle extremely well in the rain.
I only buy Continental touring tires. They're hard, and a bit noisy, but they hold up forever to highway driving.
I personally didn't like Michelin tires when I was a tire technician, but I won't discount their strengths. The biggest problem with Michelin tires is dry rot, I don't recommend them if the car sits for long periods outside.
