I got the defender 2s (Michelin) and they are nice. I drive a Honda odyssey.
I ended up with the Michelin CrossClimate 2. Had them about 1k so far and I love them. Slightly louder, like barely noticeable, but boy do they bite the road well.
Every set of Michelin tires I've had out lasted their mileage warranty and were dry rotted very badly, but never separated or caused me a safety concern.
Replaced with Michelin at 17K miles. Seems like a trend.
I have the Cross Climate 2 on a 2017 AWD CRV and had them on a 2019 manual Jetta, they’ve been great! Snow, ice, heavy rain, handles everything like a champ! Slight decrease in fuel efficiency however.
R1T, but I replaced mine with Michelin Defenders at 17k miles
I’ve driven on the cross climate 2s and they’re great. Michigan winters were a breeze, never slid once
They are fantastic tires year round.
They do wear a bit faster but now where near as fast as a dedicated snow
They perform much much better than all seasons in snow.
I ran Michelin Pilot Sport AS4+ on my SQ5 before I sold it. For most CUV, running car all season tires is better and often cheaper solution if you never go off pavement (sand/mud/grass etc)
Expect to go slower. DH is for downhill. My bike came with those and my God it was a slog on flat, rolling and uphill. And forget about accelerating out of turns.
