Tires MICHELIN or DEXTER

MICHELIN Tires

I put these on my 2019 Highlander hybrid. 6k miles on them and love the wet and dry handling. I have dedicated blizzak winters but am going to run my cc2 this season as my blizzaks have 36k miles on them. Road trip soon that will include winter snow conditions. I will post how they handle. Also I did notice a 1.5~2 mpg drop in fuel economy.

Pros: love the wet and dry handling
Cons: mpg drop in fuel
Mileage: 9656 km

Michelin CrossClimate2 are amazingly smooth and quiet. And they hardly wear at all. Over 20k on my set and they’ve only worn 1/32nd.

I don’t even live in a snowy environment but they are amazing in heavy rain. 70mph in heavy rain is easily doable

Pros: smooth and quiet
Cons: hardly wear
Mileage: 20000 km

I can tell you the Cross Climate 2s are a fantastic tire - however I mostly stayed on pavement with the occasional gravel / dirt road - nothing with lots of rocks or potholes

Pros: fantastic tire

I have a pair of Defender 1 and 2s on my 2017. Both great. Defenders will impact your MPG. Around 2-3 in my experience.

Pros: Both great
Cons: impact your MPG

I have them on my Lexus ES300h and drove with them coast-to-coast across the entirety of Canada in the dead of winter, then back again in the summer. I found them to be really great performers in winter, even in nearly tire-high snow, and I never had a moment where I was worried about slipping or sliding, even through the Rockies in white-out conditions. HOWEVER... I find them to be too noisy in the summer. I can see the fuel efficiency drop on road trips in the summer as well, and I'm not sure I'd run them year-round again knowing what I know now.

Pros: great performers in winter
Cons: too noisy in summer
Vehicle: Lexus
