Upgraded my Wilderness to Michelin Defenders. MPGs went up on average about 4mpg. Much quieter, smoother ride. I regret not swapping them out sooner!
Just grabbed Defender 2s. As of now, zero complaints.
I have the Michelin X-Ice Snow and they’re doing well sofar.
These tires are less compliant than other tires I’ve used. The ride is firm. I have noticed lower fuel economy. Overall, I’m happy with these tires.
I've had the ventus on my wife's Tiguan and they suck. If you're sticking with all season go with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4, they really are much better in nearly every way imaginable.
Just got the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S and love them.
I use Pilot Sport A/S 4s and they can handle any normal (i.e. non-blizzard) amount of snow with relative ease. They were great in the Midwest last winter, including in the snow.
We have had Michelin Defenders on both ours they ride and handle like no other tire I’ve had.
CrossClimates are good in winter but take a penalty in MPG & noise because of that benefit (the 2 biggest complaints in reviews).
My personal experience: Michelin defender 100.000 miles warranty. Worn to ZERO profile after 35.000 miles. NEVER MORE!
