Tires MICHELIN or OEM Subaru
Im having this debate right now. I have had my defender 2s since \~30k and they have performed flawlessly especially between Maine and DC. Its seen snow, rain etc and I have not had an issues in any climate.
The 15x5 (black) steel wheels on my Yaris only weigh 15 lbs and the H-rated 175/65-15 Michelin summer tires I have weigh 14.7, so less than 30 lbs a corner. What I can't believe is how heavy some of the all-terrain tire/wheel combos are that people buy without researching the implications first. I did a lot of research to find a light AT tire, jumping from 30 lbs for the OEM tire to 39 for an AT in my stock 245/75-16 size, just a higher weight rating. The steel wheels on the truck weigh 32 lbs, so 71 lbs/corner.
I changed over to Michelin when my new 992S came with 'Goodyear" of all things..and I love the Michelin's..
Just got some new PS4S and they are incredible

Michelins are worth double compared to generals.
I used Michelin 2ct in the front and Michelin road 6 in the back for one season because the front lasts way longer than the rear. Had no problems.
I’ve tried Pirelli, Bridgestone and Michelin.
The Michelin’s ride is way smoother and softer.
These are cool looking... notably the tires are not as good for street riding and you can replace them with those sweet michelin city grips. The brake pads are also not so thick on these so keep an eye on them.
All weathers weren't worth it in my case, I'm not hard on my tires at all and I logged 35-45k On the ones I bought last year and they are already at 2/32'nds. I went back to all seasons this year, due to I'd rather get the 80,000km's with the Michelins I bought. Nor did I really notice a difference in traction/handling between All Weathers and All Seasons.
