I have these, got em on sale for cheap so I figured I'd give them a shot. Drove them in like 6" inches of snow with no issues, been through some mean rainstorms with no issues, and over the summer. Been on them for almost a year so far and no complaints for how I am driving on them (Mostly just daily duty, occasional twisties).
i just got a full set for my 98 honda crv, 215/60r16. about 50 miles so far and they are great ride smooth, pretty quiet, and have good grip in the dry. I think they feel a little dull with center response with steering inputs when going slower, maybe less than 30mph. I have yet to test them in the rain, i havent quite pushed them to the limit in a turn yet but near the limit they feel good and feel like they will continue to grip has you push them harder.
I went with commander 3s got about 4K on them now and mostly 2 up riding with very minimal wear, plenty of grip for fun riding even with some rain
Defenders are a surprisingly competent off road tire.
i ran those coopers for like 5 years they’re great, very little to no noise, doesn’t hold onto rocks and good wet traction. i started using them when it was a 3s and when they switched to the next gen 4s wet traction significantly improved. i did some dirt driving and a lot of snow driving in deep snow for hours on highways. great traction on dirt and snow, especially for the money.
Michelin CrossClimate. Best tires I’ve ever put on my tC when I had it.
Wheels from Tire Rack with Michelin Ice-X tires. Great setup - saved us the first year when we were caught in a terrible ice storm near St Louis, when nobody was moving and we drove around all the stalled traffic.
I have a mich cruiser 3 up front and cruiser 2 in the rear. I will never run another brand. Great in the wet.
All seasons are deceptive. Not *bad* in the snow but you’ll see on most of them “light powder” conditions - meaning anything other than a quick flurry will undermine performance. Get these + snow tires and swap during the winter or get a better tire rated for snow like Michelin Crossclimates or Nokian WR G4s.
My 70K Michelins were rocks at 47000
Still had some tread left all evenly worn but they sucked
No traction,no ride quality and i junked them.
