Tires MICHELIN or Kumho
Michelin Power Cup. I'm very happy with them
I agree with Michelin Defender II (the dealership put them in mine when I bought it, they're great)
I have Michelin Primacy A/S tires on my CX5, and I'm very happy with them. The ride is quiet and comfortable, and they handle really well
I don't know about these inparticular but I drove AT51 Kuhmos back when I had a 07 Liberty in Syracuse, NY.
I hiked and camped regularly with friends as well. Drove on trails, did moderate off-roading, heavy snow, ice, heavy rain, on top of it being my daily driver, so plenty of highway miles as well.
They lasted me 55K (rotated 4 times during ownership)
Never had a flat, great traction, great price.
One of the best tires I've owned. I had to emergency brake on a rainy day and man... my car was like glued to the road, no slipping, and stopped immediately. Their grip is amazing. On the durability side it is great too.
I put CC2s on my 17 Corolla. I was worried that it would be overkill, but as someone who has pretty much always cheaped out on tires, the upgrade was unbelievable. I live in Seattle, so we don't get a lot of snow. They handle extremely well in the rain.
Kumho Solus Ta51a is a quality, long lived all season touring tire thats not super expensive.
I didn't replace my factory Yokohama tires on my 2022 Limited until around 38k miles, and I still had around 1/4" tread left. I wanted better winter tires and replaced them with Michelin Cross-Climate 2 tires with a 60k tread wear warranty. There is a bit more ride noise than with my Yokohama tires, but nothing a few more decibels on the radio doesn't fix
The Pilot Sport Cup 2's had great grip but are VERY expensive and had a strong tendency to tramline - do not reccommend for the street unless you track the car. The Pilot Sport 4s have better manners on the street in the OEM sizes (305/30R19 & 315/30R19) and are less expensive than the Cup 2's.
My mom’s cross climate 2s have been the loudest and roughing riding tires she has ever experienced on her prius. And I agree with her.
