I have Defender 2s and still have 7mm of tread left after 80,000 miles. They've been great so far.
Something like the Michelin Defender is a safe bet and I've run those on Rav4's before.
Purchased x2 Goodyear Reliant All-Season 205/60R16 for my 01 Lexus ES300. Pretty good tire, very comfortable ride.
FWIW with regular rotations we got 35K out of my wife’s factory 20” Goodyear F1 tires.
Michelin Cross Climate 2's........been a great tire so far, got about 1000 miles on them.
Bit late but wanted to share my experience after having to get new tyres after a puncture a few weeks ago. I usually go for the cheap tyres, Achilles which were around $180AUD each. I couldn't find anyone supplying Achilles tyres in my rim size so I decided I'm going to try something a bit more expensive and replace all with Michelin Pilot Sport 5 which cost me $500AUD each. They are amazing tyres. They are so much more quieter, more responsive in corners (can take corners faster and sharper) and the ride is so nice. Even accelerating has less lag and more grip. It feels like a completely different car.
Goodyear assurance weatherready 2. Similar design to cross climates, supposedly better, but they just came out in August so not a lot of test info from outside sources. I just got these put on today on my 25 palisade riding on 20’s and they are comfortable and quiet.
Michelins. Expensive but the best set of tires you'll ever drive on.
Goodyear Assurance Maxlife are warranty at 85k miles and will last you about 43k miles down to 3/32th.
I got about 34k out of mine they are junk tires
