Tires MICHELIN or DUNLOP

The defenders are a very good choice. On road performance is no different than the defenders, they are just as quiet, but have a slightly more aggressive tread.

I personally love my q5. I'm running a novice pace, but I love the confidence they inspire. I have zero questions about the level of grip I have. The rear does get greasy after 3-4 days however.

That said, I really have enjoyed the Michelin Cross Climate; amazing rain traction and very cushy. Only knock is that they are a little noisy in sweeping turns.

the ride is sooo much better than the stock tires. quiet and smooth.

I've been buying my tires at Costco for years. Prices couldn't be beat, especially when they have a sale. Got a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2s for a minimum 400 less than anywhere else.

I live in Colorado and last fall I got Michelin CrossClimate 2s for my VB. Great tires! They worked beautifully all winter with the snow that we had (along with several trips up to the slopes) and also worked great with all of the rain this spring/summer.

I just bought a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2, which are arguably the best all-season tire out right now.

Just tried out Sullivan Tire for the first time. Got a good deal on a set of Michelin's, they were running a free install promo.

We have these on one of our FWD cars, and the Bridgestone WeatherPeaks on another FWD car. If you deal with snow for a decent part of the year the WeatherPeaks are a phenomenal tire, basically a snow tire with a high wear rating, the Cross Climate 2 is OK in snow.

First came with Michelin tires, had no complaints about them, second came with Dunlop's and they are trash. The tires are loud, and pick up rocks and small pebbles on the outer and inner edges of the tires, that don't fly out while driving. Tires have less than 15k km on them. It's caused some vibration and I've had to manually take them out from time to time.
