I like Michelin defenders. Quiet, good road pattern, excellent grip on snow and ice
Yeah, I got tired of this happening. Went to Michelin's, and I find them to be much better.
Just put these Conti Crosscontact LX25 on my Hyundai Sante Fe. So much better than the Kumho Crugen previously on that wore out very quickly (got 25,000 rotated every 7500 miles) and not quiet on the road. Yes the $110 rebate did help with the decision. Put on around 800 miles and pretty happy with them. Like other Conti, quiet on the road. There's less road feeling but for a family car, fine for my wife.
In my opinion, they are the perfect tyre for all of the UK.
Replaced the OG Michelin all season tires around 46,000 miles.
Not an apples to apples comparison per se, but we have a set of Michelin Defender LTXs on our '24 Sierra. Absolutely love them due to low noise, good comfort, great handling in dry/wet/light snow. Like them so much, had them switched over from our previous Silverado as we did not want the OEM Dunlops. No regrets.
Michelin Cross Climate 2 are rated to last like 50000 Kms or so. Grippy and fairly quiet.
We have these (T+H) on the Rav4. No complaints. Quiet, good in the rain, comfy, inexpensive when on sale. Tread life isn't 80k or whatever the warranty number is, not by a long shot, but what tire ever hits that? They'll need replacing around 55-60k, at which point I'll get the Defender 2.
Used these on my explorer. Had to replace 3 in the first 3 months. After that, had no problems for 4 years. Had some on my f150, and swapped them for some nitto grapplers and wished I didn't. 95% of my truck driving is on the freeway. They are just so loud and the mpg is 2 to 3 mpg less. The defenders did so much better in the snow on paved roads.
My XSE here in Canada came stock with Michelin Primacy, they are noisy.
