Tires MICHELIN or Cooper

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.

I have a set on the Audi. I run them all year round. They are great IMHO. Michelin CrossClimate 2

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.

On a side note my wife’s Lincoln SUV runs Michelin defender’s and they are a great on-road tire!

Have had both. Ok my second set of Defenders now. If you want actual on road performance and tread life get the Defenders. In my experience the Michelins are much better in rain.

For your application, defenders all the way.

Defenders, best all-around tire hands down.

Defenders. From a 150 in the snowy Northeast.

Pilot Sport AS4 255/35R19s fit the stock Scottsdale rims on the 40th, reckon they'd fit the Adelaides as well, if anyone is looking for something wider & skinnier than 235/40R19. They were noticeably less responsive than the stock 235/35R19 summers that came on the car.

Wasn't my experience at all. About six months ago I replaced the OEM Geolanders on my 2018 Crosstrek with CrossClimate 2 tires. By the time drove 15 minutes home I knew that there I didn't like what I was experiencing with the CrossClimates. They were noisier, jittery, mushy and didn't track like the Geolanders. I wrote it off as being new. They did an alignment and wheel balance during installation. I am not an aggressive driver but the interstate on ramp that I use all the time I could enter at 50mph and stay at 50. I had to brake use the Michelins. Also I lost 3 mpg compared to the Geolanders.
