If you want a standard tire and not oversized or off-road, you can’t do better than Michelin defenders. The just don’t wear, and they’re great all over Colorado. I take them camping and I get less noise and good gas mileage on road, and I’ve never been stuck offroad. Great in the snow too.
I freaking love my Michelin LTX A/T2. I’ve got about 45K on them and they look like they’ll go another 30. So quiet and compliant.
So far I have almost 2000 miles on them and they feel and look just as good as new.
Nothing better than NOKIAN TYRES
HAKKAPELIITTA
I can only talk about the X-Ice Snow and for only one season, its probably the best performing winter tire I've used and is rather quiet. They claim they'll outlast their major competition but I can't verify.
I’ve always been a fan of Nokian tires. Through research, found what seemed like the perfect set. Hakkapeliitta R3’s. They’re studless tires, but with crystals molded into the rubber compound that act like micro studs. I didn’t want anything that would create much road noise, since road noise is mainly what we hear in the EV, so these seemed like the best of both worlds.
The Michelin Road 5 and Road 6 have a "GT" version with an extra ply for heavier bikes. I have Road 5 GTs on my RT and Road 6 on another bike and they're pretty great.
I ditched the runflats and got Michelin pilot sport 5s. Best thing I ever did
The best middle ground would be your UHP All Seasons category. Not as performance oriented as summer. But also not as costly. Michelin Pilot Sport 4 A/S, Conti DWS06+ for example.
I was in a prius with michelin defenders on rt90 in MA during a rainstorm at 65 with cruise control when the front wheels just spun out, lost traction
