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.
For your application, defenders all the way.
Defenders, best all-around tire hands down.
Defenders. From a 150 in the snowy Northeast.
I am happy with michelin cross climate 2
This is what I had Michelin Primacy Tour A/S. Warranty is 55K, mine made it to 67k before I just changed them to the Michelin Pilots.
I do some spirited driving here and there and in general appreciate grip at higher speeds, so the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 is my tyre of choice
Have Michelins on it now and it rides great, and the idle has always been slightly rough since new. I have the basic engine and still uses no oil.
My original tires were cracked from being in the sun and not moving for a year or two, so the dealer replaced them with exactly the same tire and it went under the 12/12 warranty, so I need to go through those tires before I buy my own. Man, are they greasy in the wet!
Never waste money on Michelin tires. Also no point in paying for long lasting tires of any kind if you barely drive. Get less expensive name brand tires and you will be just fine.
