Replaced the OG Michelin all season tires around 46,000 miles.
Not an apples to apples comparison per se, but we have a set of Michelin Defender LTXs on our '24 Sierra. Absolutely love them due to low noise, good comfort, great handling in dry/wet/light snow. Like them so much, had them switched over from our previous Silverado as we did not want the OEM Dunlops. No regrets.
Michelin Cross Climate 2 are rated to last like 50000 Kms or so. Grippy and fairly quiet.
We have these (T+H) on the Rav4. No complaints. Quiet, good in the rain, comfy, inexpensive when on sale. Tread life isn't 80k or whatever the warranty number is, not by a long shot, but what tire ever hits that? They'll need replacing around 55-60k, at which point I'll get the Defender 2.
I have a set on the Audi. I run them all year round. They are great IMHO. Michelin CrossClimate 2
I've used both tires. The Pirellis came oem on my Audi. I swapped them fir the Michelins. Ride comfort and handling made the Michelins the clear cut winner.
On a side note my wife’s Lincoln SUV runs Michelin defender’s and they are a great on-road tire!
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.
I had commander 2s on my V-Star 650 and commander 3s on my Road Star. They perform pretty similarly in my opinion. My only gripe with the 3s is that they get this harmonic resonance at certain speeds. I thought my engine was having a fit. Turns out it wasn't the engine, the 3s just like to hit that sweet spot and send vibrations in waves. It's hard to describe.
I had X-ice i3’s and was really unhappy with the snow performance.
