We put the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 on the Ioniq 5. Great tire, combines good handling with a smooth quiet ride. I think the Continentals will be slightly more comfortable. Michelin Defenders would be my 3rd choice just based on price. Newer Michelins haven't wowed me in general, and they are ridiculously priced. Competing Pirellis and Continentals are usually cheaper and give you comparable performance.

Pros: good handling, smooth quiet ride
Vehicle: Hyundai

Not an apples to apples comparison per se, but we have a set of Michelin Defender LTXs on our '24 Sierra. Absolutely love them due to low noise, good comfort, great handling in dry/wet/light snow. Like them so much, had them switched over from our previous Silverado as we did not want the OEM Dunlops. No regrets.

Pros: low noise, good comfort, great handling

We have these (T+H) on the Rav4. No complaints. Quiet, good in the rain, comfy, inexpensive when on sale. Tread life isn't 80k or whatever the warranty number is, not by a long shot, but what tire ever hits that? They'll need replacing around 55-60k, at which point I'll get the Defender 2.

Pros: quiet, good in rain, comfy, inexpensive
Cons: tread life not 80k
Vehicle: Toyota

I currently have Firestone LE3's on my 14 Explorer. They have a little over 26k miles on them. 255/50/20's for $930 mounted/balanced back in 2021. Overall pretty good tires, especially for the money. Smooth, good traction in the dry/wet and pretty good in the snow. They did seem to get louder fairly quickly, but I don't think they've really gotten any worse over the last 15k miles. Wet roads seem to exacerbate the noise. Last time I looked at them (few k miles ago), they were wearing really well. I can't say I'd buy them again yet, but if they get us another 26k miles without getting significantly louder, they (or their successor) would be on the list. In the past I had OE Hankooks (good dry/wet, excellent life, absolutely terrible in the snow) and Michelin Premier LTX (good in all conditions, short life, overpriced for what they were).

Pros: smooth, good traction, good in snow, wearing well
Cons: got louder quickly
Mileage: 26000 km

I've used both tires. The Pirellis came oem on my Audi. I swapped them fir the Michelins. Ride comfort and handling made the Michelins the clear cut winner.

Pros: ride comfort, handling
Vehicle: Audi
