Just had a set of pinza at, 275/65r18, load e replaced Michelin primacy xc that were heavily dry rotting on the tread face, put 25k miles on them had plenty of tread left. Pinza road a bit stiffer, hardly any road noise.
Get studless Michelin or Continental.
I’ve got the Michelin X-Ice without studs. Good grip and quiet - can happily recommend them as an alternative to Nokians.
You will get your monies worth with the defender 2 tires over the course of driving 100,000+ km with them versus any other none Michelin tire.
Michelin had a slight edge on wet and dry asphalt. Michelin wasn't far off from the Nokia on the ice and snow performance either and also wasn't making as much noise.
I've got michelin x ice, pretty happy about them
I put a set on my Dodge 2500 Cummins and towed 13000 across Texas and over Raton pass. No visible wear. The truck drowns out any tire noise so cant comment on that.
Dirt roads and light snow no issues.
I wore them in my old Honda Civic Type R EP3 going in mountain pass spirited drive and the behaviour and grip was good. Never a bad reaction or scary. Obviously in wet you have to be prudent because these arent a Michelin Pilot.
Me and my parents both had DWS06's on our 2016/2020 Mazda3's, respectively. They wore out way too early and one of my parents' tires had some really random tire construction-related problem that led them to replacing the Contis with the PSAS4s. They've been happy with those tires so far, I think they're a bit noisy and ride a bit stiff but response and grip-wise they're stellar.
The Defender IIs aren't like the Defender LTXs that I had 2 sets of previously. These new ones were unacceptably noisy and rough riding.
