Cross Climates are great but they have more road noise because of the tread pattern. The defender is a quieter tire that’s also very capable.
I’d suggest Michelin, I had them on every limo I drove I trusted them good weather and bad. The ones I had were hard compound for life tire life but for my driving they were great tires.
PS4S > all
Michelin on my opinion... Ive had great performance and treadwear from them.
I’m a long-term buyer of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, and prior to that the Pilot Super Sport. I replace them yearly at 15k miles.
Id suggest Michelin, not a car tire but the ltx a/t2 tires for light trucks went 100k miles on one review i saw. I have defenders on my work truck and 16k on them and they look new still.
All Michelin tires are quieter than most brands since they are softer. Even winters.
I do 25,000 a year and for 7 years I have only used all season tires, for the climate we have I think they are perfect!
That’s why less than a month after getting mine I ditched all those crappy Conti’s for a set of Michelin PS4 AS. Same tires I have on my Corvette. No blow outs but I did find when I got my car home after purchasing it one Conti had a bulge in it the dealership completely missed during the CPO inspection
My problem with Michelin is the tires are just too soft, they wear a lot faster than some of the tougher tire brands
