Tires MICHELIN or Laufenn
We have michelin defenders and are happy. Live in southern california so not a lot of rain but they seem to perform fine when it does.
I've been able to survive these the last decade with a RWD car on Michelin X-Ice Snow tires, so I bought a set for the GRC also. And they don't completely suck when the ground isn't snowy or icy.
I now have the Michelin Energy xm2+ on a corolla. It's a good economy tyre, focusing on low rolling resistance and longevity. The Michelin is a bit quieter, but fuel consumption went up a little (0.2-0.3l/100km) on my Hybrid Corolla.
My brother has the xm2 on a 400hp toy, and the xm2 tyres still work quite well.
I put Michelin Cross Climate 2s on my mine and they seem to be doing well.
I’m running the Michelin X ice no problems in the Montana winters does great and haven’t been stuck yet. Plows through 2 feet of snow
The cross climates are great but weren’t cheap!
MICHELIN CROSSCLIMATE 2. Are doing great.
We put Pilot Sport EV All Seasons on our 2024 M60 with 22s. They’ve been fine so far, a little more noisy than stock but good in the wet.
I bought a certified mdx and the person who returned their lease threw a set of these on. When I need to stop short in wet conditions they slide drastically more than OEM Bridgestone’s. Even when it’s dry in the cold I don’t feel like I have grip.
