I went with Michelin defender ltx m/s and they rock. Plenty comfortable.
I've had no issues with mine; grip for days. Not sure what better ride would refer to. I don't think they're overly noisy, by any means.
A really popular tire is the Michelin cross climate 2. But I think they prioritize snow and rain performance. Nevertheless, I have them on my work car and my brother on their pilot and both seem like a nice ride.
Those are absolutely amazing tires because they grip so well in the winter plus they handle like sporty high performance tires on winding mountain roads.
The previous owners kept the brakes flushed and the oil changed right on schedule. It had a water pump at replaced at 70k, spark plugs at 60k(getting time for that again), and the normal 80k service with the rear end inspected and new fluid. It has some Michelin Pilots with most of the tread left.
I like the Michelin defenders, pretty good in all elements and lasts about 70k.
Folks liked those Michelins very much, generally.
My pilot all season 4 tires have a 540 treadwear and I got about 20k on the rears.
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.
They are trash.
