My experience with Pilot Sports on an Audi was that they had really weak sidewalls
I’ll never buy Michelin Pilot Sports ever again. The last set I bought would get flat spots while sitting at work for 8hrs and would take 10mins of driving to round out again.
I just got the Michelin Premier LTX, they drive great.
Gonna cost me $1200 for 4 Michelin Defender 2's (245/55/19) on my 2008 Highlander (March 2025) with installation.
I'd stick to a street tire like a Michlien PS4S or Conti ECS02.
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.
Milked everything I could from my OEM tires then upgraded to cross climate 2s.
The Michelins are great. I love mine. The Goodyear tires sucked when I had them.
I have a 22 Highlander hybrid. I've had Michelin cross climate twos on that for about 16 months. The traction is excellent, the feel in the snow, I live in pa, is excellent, however I believe I lost around 5% of my MPG.
I am on my third set of Michelins. The defender 2s are such a quiet tire and they wear phenomenally well when rotated every 5k.
