For me its the performance on wet conditions (rains a lot here) and the longevity. I usually get about 5-6 years off a set of defenders on both my GLK 350 and my Suburban.
Just replaced the old ones on my mk7 with the same, I’ve always preferred Michelin Pilot Sport, old ones were 3’s new ones 4’s, bit different tread design but still a quiet highway cruise.
Winter setup is Michelin x-ice.
Just upgraded to some better tires (Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 225 /40 R18 92Y XL BSW). Coming from some Walmart achilles tires.
These tires are really grippy I can launch the car without any spin. Man this thing pulls and I drastically improved my 0-60.
I went with the Michelin Defenders 2 and am so glad I made this decision. Nice smooth quiet ride. Handles bumps and potholes like a champ. Braking is better than stock Toyos.
We replaced the Toyos at 38k miles with 3/32 on them, got Michelin Defender 2s and they’re night and day different
Went with Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires which seem quieter to me.
Ich bin ganz zufrieden mit den Crossclimate. Die erkaufen sich ihre lange Haltbarkeit und gute Performance bei Trockenheit aber mit Schwächen bei Nässe.
I recently switched to Michelin Defender 2 tires. Every month I record a monthly average efficiency. Compared to last year I have lost about 10% efficiency.
I wouldn’t recommend Michelin cross climate they ruin your alignment all the time, they too hard mileage is too low, too much gas because engine need to push them, also it not comfortable at all.
