Tires MICHELIN or Cooper

I like the 300 tw summer street tires, MPS4S and ECS02 when you’re shopping for this in between segment. They’re my daily driver tires and I find them quite fun to autocross and pretty much right next to the non-fast summer tires but you’ll get 20k-30k street miles out of them.

I have Michelin defender ltx m/s2’s on my truck and have been researching tires to put on next. I keep coming back to these. Seem to be best for noise/longevity/quality and have a ton of sipes that make them a good snow tire. I don’t see myself changing up.

Having said that I had AT3 4s tires on my F150, and even at 70k km they still outperformed all season tires.

Slippery situations involving rain and snow have fully convinced me of their grip. Get them. I have 22s and still bulldoze through most. Wet, muddy hills though? No problem. Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S 285/50/22 is specifically what I have. Very quiet.

I almost purchased those tires. I chose the Michelin CrossClimate2 instead. Mostly bc I was worried about highway mpg.

I'm buying into Michelin (MGDDY) now because the tire and rubber industry took a big hit this year. I don't see rubber or tires going anywhere tho so I think it could be a long term value pick

I just put some Michelin Defender 2 on my car and they have been great in the dry, wet and snow.

I put Michelin Crossclimate 2 on. No regrets, best all weather tires. Better than most summer tires in the summer and same for winter.

I have those same tires, took a hit to my range...

I had these tires for about 8-10k miles then took them off. They did ok for turns and handling but I did not have good overall experience
