Have had the defenders. They’re great tires. Just couldn’t handle the donut look so I got Nitto ridge grapplers that I hate. Thinking of going with the Coopers next. But I’m not sure anything can beat the defenders for road driving.
Rain season. This is awesome tire when ride in down hill GA. Handle in rain condition is best with this tire. A little road noice worth in my Tesla Model 3. Safety come first. Rain and slight snow. This tire is outperformed than it advertised.
Ok, I was actually glad when my snow tires wore out a year ago, because then I got these awesome tires:
235/65R18 106V Michelin Crossclimate 2 BW
Having driven with both a dedicated snow tire and these they drive exactly the same & I drive in serious blizzards.
These tires do appear stop well and provide better driving across wet roadways. I don’t get a chance to really drive them on snow where I live. But plenty of chances for Rain. Which is why I bought them.
Michelin Defender LTX. There's a few versions so one should fit your needs. Definitely more pricey but I feel like they're the best tire I've ever owned.
I'm a huge fan of the All Weather Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires. Great in all conditions and amazing in snow even on our two wheel drive Mazda.
I just got the Pilot Sport 4s for my 2022 S60. They are AMAZZZINNNNGGG.
I’m getting a set of Michelin Crossclimate 2 on my SAAB in a couple weeks
They’re higher rated in *every* category compared to the Continental Extreme Contact DWS06, which I’ve ran for the last few years.
I have Michelins, but I don’t know. 45psi seems a little high. I keep mine around 35-40psi.
Personally I don't like Michelin tires due to constant issues I've had with rubber cracking prematurely (long before the expiration date).
