Tires MICHELIN or DEXTER

In September I switched to slightly narrower and taller Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 in 265/50R20, and they have been awesome. I’m now about 5000 miles in on the Defenders and have tested them in every environment this car can safely go. We drove from upstate NY to CO at fast highway speeds and they were great, felt better than the stock tires. We have been in eastern Idaho for a month and have done every fire road I can find between here and western WY and southwestern MT, and they have been flawless. We got snow overnight and into today, so I hit the dirt roads this morning and they were again flawless in mixed snow / gravel / mud.

The Michelin LTX AT2... Less void to rubber ratio than the BFG AT TA KO2 means it will be quieter, less susceptible to cupping, have a longer tread life, and still retain it's grip and clean out capability for snow and mud. I sold dozens of sets of both and had the opportunity to observe their performance over years.

For snow, winter tires are much more affective than AWD on all season. Even the cheapest set of winter tires will outperform summer/all season

Cross Clikate 2. They are comfy and quieter than the Michelin Defenders and Primacy.

I use the Michelin climate 2s. I love them

I did get a new set of Michelin tires last year. I couldn’t stand the stock Pirelli.

I have Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons and they're a great tire.

Michelin AS4 is the best all season tire money can buy. The Michelins are worth the premium IMO. The cost difference isn’t that big when you spread it out over the expected lifespan of the tire.

I think my defenders only have 65k - but they were considerably less expensive.

The rears have Michelin pilot supersports on them and theyre terrible.
