It is running on 17x7.5 Mk7 rims, 225/50R17 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4, 26.3" diameter. No rubbing. Lowered the pressure to 32psi and it becomes a very supple and plush ride.
We are currently running the Michelin LTX MS2 on our ‘08 Limited - we’ve been running Michelins for about 250,000 mi. So, I’d go for the Defender, if that’s the Michelin choice.
Have had the defenders. They’re great tires. Just couldn’t handle the donut look so I got Nitto ridge grapplers that I hate. Thinking of going with the Coopers next. But I’m not sure anything can beat the defenders for road driving.
Rain season. This is awesome tire when ride in down hill GA. Handle in rain condition is best with this tire. A little road noice worth in my Tesla Model 3. Safety come first. Rain and slight snow. This tire is outperformed than it advertised.
Ok, I was actually glad when my snow tires wore out a year ago, because then I got these awesome tires:
235/65R18 106V Michelin Crossclimate 2 BW
Having driven with both a dedicated snow tire and these they drive exactly the same & I drive in serious blizzards.
These tires do appear stop well and provide better driving across wet roadways. I don’t get a chance to really drive them on snow where I live. But plenty of chances for Rain. Which is why I bought them.
Michelin Defender LTX. There's a few versions so one should fit your needs. Definitely more pricey but I feel like they're the best tire I've ever owned.
I'm a huge fan of the All Weather Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires. Great in all conditions and amazing in snow even on our two wheel drive Mazda.
I have those on my c63S. They are ok, but I feel the same about the Michelin offering as well. All seasons suck. Not as much wet or dry grip, louder then summers. But they are cheaper and last longer.
I had PS4S for years as well then figured to switch to the All season version of Michelin. BAD mistake on my part. Car was squirrelly and i initially thought maybe its a new tire and the treadblocks are high. Wrong. the feeling of the brand new PS4S was not squirrelly at all when I went back to it.
