I think a premium tyre is definately worth it. Michelin or Continental will outlast, be quieter, grip better and improve economy over all budget and most every mid range tyre.
Try some Michelin Pilot Sport tires
I got Meineke to repair my stock model Y tire before and it held up nicely, after I replaced both of my Teslas with Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus and I haven’t look back, no foam and you can’t even tell a difference in road and they are awesome for significantly less money per tire, plus they have indicators to tell when to replace for Dry, Wet and Snow conditions. Will only use these tires moving forward on my vehicles.
I have Defenders on my Highlander, Corolla and Rav. They are the only tire I will ever buy.
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.
We had a set of these on our Rogue, and I wasn\u2019t really blown away by them. Tread life was awful, which really surprised me. Granted, wet grip was very good and they rode quietly, but I wasn\u2019t that impressed with them overall.
I have never been a fan of Conti tires, especially anything with "ContiSport" in its name. They come OE on many German marques, and I can't for the life of me figure out WHY other than some smoking back room deal hammered out over loads of pharmaceuticals in the wee hours of the morning. My MK6 felt like a cement truck with its OE Contis. They would flat spot in what seemed like 120 seconds, noisy as all get out and lasted 1/3 of the claimed milage. Ive permanently deformed Contis on my old 05 E55 by just hitting a small chuck hole or bump. This is anecdotal evidence at best, but my money is on the tires being deformed, belt shift or what ever the excuse of the day is.
