Michelin defenders. Original equipment on my 2013 Leaf. They have .800" of tread when new. Not like all the other tires that have only .400" of tread new. I have 82K miles on the with 20% of the tread left now. Getting 4.1 miles per KW. You can't beat these tires...
I live in NE and got Michelin Alpin 4s and like them quite bit. Its not too crazy here and if we get deep snow I have other options. We have an SUV I can use and since the pandemic I can work from home which is a huge help. I haven't driven in snow in years. If you only have the R as your daily and MUST drive in snow then I agree with the above statement that pure winter tires are a better choice. For me the Alpins ride quite nicely and don't feel squirmy or get hard as a rock when the temp drops.
I’ve been really happy with the Pilot Sport AS4. Not difference in ride comfort or sound, and they definitely are going to last longer than the MXM4
Done well tires or jug I went with a Michelin Commander 3 much better Tire
I’ve had Michelins for 8 months now with zero issues.
CrossClimate2 are great on our 19 Pilot, we have about 25k miles on them. Rain only, no snow experience with them.
Michelin never lets me down. I have had several sets of Conti DWS's on various cars and they always wear out way earlier than they should (treadwear gone in 15K miles on a 30K mile tire). I have had a few sets of Nokians too. Good tires until they aren't. Two sets had sidewall bubbles early. Others developed vibration issues before tread was gone. No real recent experience w/ Bridgestone except one set on a 911 years ago. Get the Michelins.
I use 18” Michelin x-ices in the winter.
Michelins are overpriced, Yokohama geolandars are the way to go
Went from Toyo all-seasons to Bridgestone RE-71Rs. It was... absurd.
Now my car has Michelin Pilot Sport AS3 on them and they're... so disappointing. My friends all comment on how well my car grips but after experiencing what is essentially road-legal racing slicks I just find myself a bit disgusted with how easily these break traction.
