Michelin M/S2 has been my go-to highway tire for the taco
You’re use case screams Michelin Defender. Fantastic long life tire with good traction and can handle some dirt too.
BUT Michelin tends to not develop much road noise even when old.
they are LITERALLY the best (and only) tires that should go on an AMG
Crossclimate 2, especially if you get snow.
I have them on my AMG GT 53 and they are glued to the road - outstanding tires. Reasonably durable too
They are awesome, pretty much the best thing you can run that isn't a track tire, and you'll be amazed at their wet handling.
I've had experience with both the pilot super sports and now the pilot 4s on my 21 c63s that I drive 3-4 days out the week all year around and I live in the transitionzone of the US. The super sports are much stickier esp in the summer when the roads are hotter you can actually hear the tires picking up rocks and pebbles and they chirp when you put your foot down; however in the rain they spin and if its too cold they hop and skip esp when turning kind of like a bad loose lower ball joint. The pilot 4s are not as sticky or grippy as the SS’s but all around wet/cold/hot they are a great tire if your going to driving in all four seasons. I've noticed with the 4s even in the summer my car fish tails from a stop trying get traction even in the summer months they're spinning instead of gripping like SS. I hope this adds some context. I will be going back to the SS’s though and I won't be driving it in the rain like I used to as I have other vehicles for that
I noticed some articles say they were designed for wet weather and where I live is very dry, so I am going to get Michelin Defender 2s this time.
Just replaced mine at 24k, and this was after comments from a tire shop when rotating them that they were shot at 17k. I bought a tread gauge and sure enough they were all in the red, and the inner front tires were bald.
