The Defenders might be the best all season tire you can buy. They last forever and ride extremely well.
Used them for 3 years on an Explorer in New England and they're definitely worth it. Never skimp on tires or brakes.
Living in CO, I can definitely recommend the CC2. Fantastic treadlife and handles really well in wet/hydroplaning to moderate snow. It’s not as good on ice as a dedicated snow tire but not bad at all. Personally, I haven’t noticed it being too loud as others have complained.
Depends what you need them for. They are very surefooted in the wet and good in snow (for all seasons). Definitely a bit loud so that’s the trade off. I love them for where I live. The continentals and Mich Primacy’s I had previously are much quieter but lacked the same level of wet grip
I vouch for good all weather tires. The Michelin Cross climates are great (although I think at some point they’ve been surpassed now by even better)
I'm quite happy with the Michelins on my Camry powered Pontiac Vibe GT. Good in snow and torrential rains.
I have Michelin Defender 2's. They're great. Quiet, last a long time, and do good enough in snow.
1.2k miles in with the Michelin Defenders and they still measure at 11/32. 22’s with the Defenders is the move.
Michelin PA4s are better for dry, wet and a little ice. They are not so good in snow. I had them on my Golf R. Although I never got stuck, they don't inspire confidence in snow.
I went with cross climate 2s, but the performance has been really disappointing in wet conditions at low speeds, i lose traction often.
