Cross Climates are great but they have more road noise because of the tread pattern. The defender is a quieter tire that’s also very capable.
I’d suggest Michelin, I had them on every limo I drove I trusted them good weather and bad. The ones I had were hard compound for life tire life but for my driving they were great tires.
PS4S > all
Michelin on my opinion... Ive had great performance and treadwear from them.
I’m a long-term buyer of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, and prior to that the Pilot Super Sport. I replace them yearly at 15k miles.
Id suggest Michelin, not a car tire but the ltx a/t2 tires for light trucks went 100k miles on one review i saw. I have defenders on my work truck and 16k on them and they look new still.
All Michelin tires are quieter than most brands since they are softer. Even winters.
I do 25,000 a year and for 7 years I have only used all season tires, for the climate we have I think they are perfect!
Ours wore out at 21k miles, handled okay in about 1-2 ft of snow and are awfully slick in rain. We put on Michelin cross climate 2s and have been on those for the last 4k miles and they have been great
With that said the General Grabbers were my least favorite set of tires in terms of their noise and grip while cornering.
