I have Continentals and love them, wouldn’t go with anything else personally
I replaced the stock Michelin Energy Saver set with Michelin Defender2 last year. Never going back.
Definitely better grip and handling, especially when wet. There was an impact to range but it was pretty negligible.
If you don't want to spend the money on Michelins, then Falken Azenis FK510 and Continental Extreme Contact Sport are affordable alternatives. They're also much better than the Nittos.
Pick up some Michelin Cross Climate 2’s. Triple peak snow rated, 60k miles, and perform well even in the heat.
I bought all weather Michelin cross climate2 tires. I don’t want to have 2 sets of tires. I live in southern Ontario and we get snow yes but roads are generally taken care of well and I don’t go North at all.
I put good winter tires on it (Michelin X-Ice Snow EV) and I’ve not had an issue with RWD. Today was the first day I’ve driven it in pure winter conditions and it was a dream to drive.
I bought these when living in Western Colorado and they did great for last winter. I also had a great experience with them in the PNW/Western Oregon in a more rainy than snowy climate. They were about $1000 total and came with a reasonable warranty which I recommend for any AWD vehicle.
I do notice that they can be loud but I don't care. They also seem to decrease fuel efficiency but I am okay with that since I am starting with high efficiency in the first place.
Continental DWS 06+. Good grip for when you want do drive your grounded to the ground Camry and also surprisingly good riding and quiet. Amazing in the wet and totally acceptable in the snow.
My Continental Pure Contact all seasons are not awesome in snow. My Gislaved Nordfrost tires are.
My personal experience: Michelin defender 100.000 miles warranty. Worn to ZERO profile after 35.000 miles. NEVER MORE!
