Michelins are cheaper to run because overall they last longer both in mileage and cracking. $ per mile much cheaper.
I went with the Michelin Defender 2 on my last set, and now I totally get why they’re so popular. The ride is super quiet and smooth—even on rough pavement—and they’ve been wearing incredibly well. I’m already past 40,000 miles with plenty of tread left, so I believe the 80,000-mile warranty is legit. Wet traction has been solid too, and I feel confident driving in all kinds of weather.
3rd set of Defenders on mine. Such a quiet and great handling all season tire.
First hour I got them installed on Nissan frontier pickup, highway distracted a bit almost not paying attention at 70mph traffic stop in front of me. I had to choose calculate between braking hard or soft. I chose the latter (softer) for fear of skidding and hitting the cars ahead. Car stopped safely. Coming from 6 year old hankook dynapro which are stiff at 35 psi I could have plowed over. These are sure comfy ride, no need to air down, the all terrain version.
I got them today from Costco. I drove like 100 miles after installation, mostly at high speed. These tires are impressive in every aspect, specially comfort and handling
I'm not sure about the noise. I feel they are a bit more noisy of the rough parts of the freeway. More noisy than my older Michelin.
I have not experienced any particular issues with my Toyos (2020 signature), but changed them to CC2s last week after 38,000 miles and a nail. OMG, like having a completely new car -- no cabin noise, float over road bumps, and braking is dramatically better. Can't wait for the snow to fall.
I have the ion evo summer tires, on a model 3 lr. These are the best summer tires I have ever owned, they are super grippy in wet and dry, quieter than the propilot 4, super comfortable, feel softer but have stability and performance of sporty tires.
My buddy has the same year Accord, but a V6 Auto with CC2's, an these tires are AMAZINGLY good in the wet an even handling hydroplaning. I drove this car in the aftermath of Helene where there was tons of water an muds. I've since replaced all 4 with them, as having driven a hundred miles or so in my buddies' car, I am convinced.
They make a Michelin defender that lasts a lot of miles but I didn’t dig the road noise
I have a set of Ps4s and am not impressed at all, not with the summer traction, not with the snow grip, not with the wear and I generally like michelin tires.
