I just switched to Michelin defenders and I love them.
my michelin crossclimate 2 tires wear a little heavier than on a lighter car, but I would advise them if you deal with a lot of rain or snow.
Michelin Defenders are wonderful tires, IMHO.
I use michelin iceX and they are excellent!
I used RE003's for a few years, then had PS4, and I've been on PS5 for the past 3 years on my Cerato GT (I've used all three tires on the same vehicle) and I won't be changing from the PS5s. Very little difference in feel between wet or dry, probably the best wet-weather tire I've ever used and easily the best dry weather tire
I put on a set of these last week! Love them so far. A little bit noisier then my stock tires, but the car feels so much more planted now.
I got them installed a few weeks. Noticeably quieter and the performance in wet conditions is really amazing.
Places here on the coast don't require it by law but if your driving daily on highways and in the city I would highly consider getting some on steel rims ...Michelin xice are the way to go ... Next best tire to something with studs. And regardless of snow they perform much better in the rain as well as lower temps anything below 7.
my experience is that summer tyres provide _significantly_ more grip in the wet than CC2s. If you get ice and snow, CC2s are great, but they're not very good in the wet.
They're also not particularly quiet. I put them on my XC90 and found them to be very droney at anything over 50mph.
I put Michelin CrossClimates on my '06 XC90 and they were noticeably poorer in the rain.
