Tires MICHELIN or Kleber
Replaced the OG Michelin all season tires around 46,000 miles.
Not an apples to apples comparison per se, but we have a set of Michelin Defender LTXs on our '24 Sierra. Absolutely love them due to low noise, good comfort, great handling in dry/wet/light snow. Like them so much, had them switched over from our previous Silverado as we did not want the OEM Dunlops. No regrets.
Michelin Cross Climate 2 are rated to last like 50000 Kms or so. Grippy and fairly quiet.
We have these (T+H) on the Rav4. No complaints. Quiet, good in the rain, comfy, inexpensive when on sale. Tread life isn't 80k or whatever the warranty number is, not by a long shot, but what tire ever hits that? They'll need replacing around 55-60k, at which point I'll get the Defender 2.
I have a set on the Audi. I run them all year round. They are great IMHO. Michelin CrossClimate 2
I've used both tires. The Pirellis came oem on my Audi. I swapped them fir the Michelins. Ride comfort and handling made the Michelins the clear cut winner.
On a side note my wife’s Lincoln SUV runs Michelin defender’s and they are a great on-road tire!
Have had both. Ok my second set of Defenders now. If you want actual on road performance and tread life get the Defenders. In my experience the Michelins are much better in rain.
Pilot Sport AS4 255/35R19s fit the stock Scottsdale rims on the 40th, reckon they'd fit the Adelaides as well, if anyone is looking for something wider & skinnier than 235/40R19. They were noticeably less responsive than the stock 235/35R19 summers that came on the car.
Just replaced mine at 24k, and this was after comments from a tire shop when rotating them that they were shot at 17k. I bought a tread gauge and sure enough they were all in the red, and the inner front tires were bald.
