These are the Michelin Defender LTX M/S. Went up slightly to 265/65/18 with no rubbing!
My vehicle spends 99.9% of the time on surface roads, so road manners are incredibly important. However, I do plan to do some very light off-roading (Big Bend NP) in the near future, so I wanted something a little bit more capable than the OEM tires. Not to mention, I think the original tires were meant for a slightly lighter vehicle, as evidenced by the fact that they were beginning to show significant wear around the 20,000 mile range.
In October I ordered **oversize** Michelin PILOT® SPORT ALL SEASON 4s. Stock size: 255/40ZR20. Size I bought for a better look on the rim, added rim ding protection, better look on the car, and more "meat" on the contact patch was 265/40ZR20. Yes, they fit, no problemo.
With these Michelins, my Y is a bloody snowmobile. Can go just about anywhere, even pulling a trailer up and down steep snow/ice covered Tahoe roads. :-)
I just bought Michelin LTX Defenders last week for my 2017. Best tires you can buy hands down.
my wife’s Hybrid Highlander came with Michelins. I forget specifically what but I’m hoping they’ll last over $30k
Costco Michelins for the win. On our ‘15 Highlander and my ‘11 Tundra.
Got Michelins on my Highlander. Couldn't be happier.
I have a Mazda3 Hatchback and I'm switching from A/S tires to summers. Probably gonna go for the Pilot Sport 4 S
I have cross clime 2 on all 3 of our vehicles. IMO the best tires I’ve ever owned. Also imo Michelin is the best brand I’ve ever owned.
They’re meh, I went from having Michelin crossclimates on my 2010 to the OEM tires on my new OB. They do OK in snow, good in rain.
I had a set of Michelin hydroedge on my Mustang, they were awful. No traction in any condition, and dry-rotted similar to shown above, but not quite as bad. And only about 4 years old.
