Tires MICHELIN or SUMITOMO
I ran the Michelin Defender LTX on our 2017 Explorer and they were great, long wearing, good in the rain and quiet. Not a sporty tire at all though.
I put Michelin PS4s on mine and never looked back.
Run any tires that aren't the ones that came on the car. The OEM Dunlops that came on the 2016 GT were terrible. I thought that when I'd change to the Michelin PS3 As, I might notice a bit of a change, but they completely changed how the car drove in every situation. I immediately noticed how nimble, yet planted the car felt after the change.
Quiet E rated for heavy Toyota truck Quality Warranty Does great in snow Quiet Smooth ride
I switched to Michelin Defender T&H. I don't drive aggressively so these tires are perfect for me.
I'm running Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 Plus tires and found them to be far better than the tires that came from the factory.
replaced factory garbage with Michelin Pilot Sport AS3+ at 20k miles, drives much better on them.
I’ve got a 2013 Ford Taurus limited, and I’ve got the crossclimate 2’s on her. Beat tires I’ve ever had. They’re a little expensive, but they’re well worth it. They’re designed to push snow and rain away from your vehicle. Stoping power even in the snow is great.
I warrantied my OEM set (replaced at 14k miles) and never contacted michelin myself, just went to discount tire and inquired about it with them. As for the tires wearing out after 14k miles: I did do some occasional aggressive driving, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Evenly worn all around and rotated every 5k.
Honestly, the Michelins are generally more recommended here over the Conti's... and after 35k on my 99, the best thing I ever did was get rid of the frickin Michelins, and replaced 'em with Bridgestone Potenza's... SOOOO much better wet traction
