Tires MICHELIN or Hankook
If you want good ones but not pay premium price, go for second tier brands Nordman (Nokian), Kleber (Michelin), Firestone (Bridgestone) or Hankook (independent).
Last time I bought tires they were Hankooks. Came 2nd (or something) in a test by Tekniikan Maailma.
My MYP came with Hankook, so far I'm impressed
I have the Hankook and they’re as quiet or more than OEM. They were also the best priced and had the longest tread wear rating.
I switched out to Cross Climate 2s , from Connecticut up to Portland was probably some of the worst snow I've ever had to drive in. They felt Incredible. I drive on the highway every day here and in thunderstorms it's nothing but confidence.
Hankook a trusted quality brand as well
I got around 20k from my next set of Michelin pilot road 4's and have not run another tire since. Yes they're expensive, but their dollar per mile ratio is incredible and they have fantastic wet weather performance
Michelin road 6s. Not budget but I'm sitting at 10k miles and have probably another 4 to 6k till they need replaced.
I’ve been riding the defenders two plus years in the Reno Tahoe area
I commute on 80 in all kinds of weather especially snow and honestly never had a problem
Also have had General Altimax on a Subaru that were fine as well as Michelin X-ice on a BMW x-1.
I had a noise that was resolved with a tie rod. I had to go to their approved shops! First shop tried to charge 5,000$ for all things I didn’t need, they denied everything but a motor mount. Next shop inflated all prices and labor. Estimate was 2500$ Endurance covered 630$ of a 930$ bill. I had to pay 287$ to get car out of there! Off to Pep Boys for tires they denied that claim as well. They told me basically I don’t take care of my car my tires were bald. I had 4 new Michelin tires in my car. Obviously something was making the front ones “a road hazard”.
