Tirerack has Michelin defender LTX M/S for $282. I have them on my overland and love them. Stock were Goodyears and they only lasted about 35k miles. Replaced those with Nittos and they were really loud and never really balanced well. I replaced the nittos at 80k miles with the defender LTX M/S and couldn’t be happier. They have 38k on them and they look new. Great all around tire that is great on the highway and can do mild off road conditions.

Pros: great all around tire
Cons: Goodyears lasted 35k miles
Mileage: 38000 km

1,000 miles ago I replaced my worn Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 (A/S 4) tires in stock 225/40-18 size with another set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4 tires in a taller 225/45-18 size. One MAJOR surprise with the new taller tires is a DRAMATIC improvement in ride. The reduction in harshness with the taller tires is shocking to me. Yes, the car is still firm riding - but these taller tires do a fantastic job of taking the edge off all the road imperfections. Even my daugter can feel the difference.

Pros: dramatic improvement in ride
Cons: speedometer reads 2mph low
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 1000 km

GENERAL TIRE Tires

I'd recommend Generals. On the recommended by Consumer Reports list for winters and well placed in other tire testing, you can't go wrong with them. Less expensive than Michelin, Bridgestone, etc.

Pros: well placed in testing
Cons: less expensive

Been using this brand for over a decade.

Reasonably priced. Long lasting, good grip, a little louder than the comparable Michelin tire

Pros: long lasting, good grip
Cons: a little louder

Anyways, blizzaks are Canada's most widely sold winter tires, I bought Michelin X-Ice, what you need to realize is that the cheapest winter tire is going to be better than the best summer tire under a certain temperature.

Pros: better than summer tire

Temps below 40 will ruin your summers. The material they build summers with is different than winters. Below 40, it will crack and literally turn into plastic. I went with the Michelin CC2 because they last a lot longer than pure winter tires with only a tiny bit less traction on ice and snow.

Pros: last a lot longer
Cons: less traction on ice

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.

Pros: OK in snow
