The Defender LTXs have been great on my Highlander. Nice ride, quiet, good traction, long wearing too.
I have the defenders on my 2017, I have had them for 2 years and didn't put my snows on. They are a good all season tire and aren't noisy
The second day I owned my '22 Highlander, I swapped out the OEM tires for the Michelin Defenders. They are by far my favorite tires. I live way out in the country on a dirt road that doesn't get plowed for hours after a snow storm. These are truly year round tires and I don't have any problems in six inches of snow. I can't rate them high enough. Just fantastic tires.
I’ve had very good experience with Michelin Defenders. They are a good quality tire and I would highly recommend. If you live in a snowy state, they do fantastic in the snow.
We're almost a year later and I did end up getting the PS5, very impressed by the tire so far, and since the tire allowed it I ended up driving the car in conditions that I wouldn't have had I gotten a more extreme tire, I really thought I just wouldn't even want to drive it in shit weather, but turns out I did want to and having tires that didn't allow would suck. Dry grip is impressive, I've driven Pzero and other tires that are supposed to be premium and sporty, but that didn't feel THAT much better over just a good quality but standard level tire. But these are a very noticeable step up, to the point that when you want to get squirrely the extra grip really shows as they're much harder to break loose. Wet gry is really good and overall they seem to be pretty progressive. We'll see for track days hopefully later this year.
I had great luck with Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires. Got a lot of miles out of them and when they wore done, they didn't get loud. Highly recommend these tires
Pirelli Scorpion AT+ on my 3rd Gen for 2 years and I love them. Noticeably more civilized on pavement and still excellent off road and in snow.
Michelin Defender LTX M/S. They are silky smooth on the highway and very capable off-road. The downside is, they don't have an aggressive look, if that's what you're going for.
I’m in the Pacific Northwest here, probably similar weather conditions like you. I have seen a 2-3 kWh/100 mi increase in consumption compared to the summer tires.
The sidewall split on one of the Michelin Primacy MXM4 on our 2021 Model 3 at about 12000km (only 7450 miles) so those Michelin Primacy MXM4s are not that great it seems.
