Tires MICHELIN or GENERAL TIRE

I’ve had General Grabber ATX on both my truck and prior 4Runner. They’re similar tread to KO2 but the rubber compound is amazing and has served me well enough to rebuy.

I run General Grabber A/Tx on my truck and really like them.

I'm approaching 38K miles on my stock tires (2019) and looking at either Wildpeaks or Michelin Defenders. I'm leaning more towards the defenders because most of my miles will be highway, near max load. The wild peaks sure look great but I've run Michelin Defenders on other vehicles, including in snow, and have no complaints.

I have Grabber ATX's in standard load for 265 70 R 17s and love them. They look aggressive, quiet on the street, awesome in all weather conditions and on/off the road. 60k warranty with 3 peak's rating.

My go to brand for a lot of my vehicles has been General Tire, but sometimes I'll go for Continental if it's only a few bucks more.

I like the X-Ice snow more than Blizzaks because they drive more confidently on pavement and they're much quieter.

I got the Michelin X-ice Snow here in the Colorado Rockies. They work great.

I run the X-Ice on my Allroad. Nice tire, but I don’t drive them hard on dry pavement for obvious reasons.

I warrantied my OEM set (replaced at 14k miles) and never contacted michelin myself, just went to discount tire and inquired about it with them. As for the tires wearing out after 14k miles: I did do some occasional aggressive driving, but nothing too out of the ordinary. Evenly worn all around and rotated every 5k.

Dude. Ran the michellins, ran the Kumhos and twice have run Dunlop SP5000s .. run the dunlops. They're sub $100/tire, grip much better than the kumhos both wet and dry, take longer to wear and are just all around a better tire. Far better than the michellins, for a fraction of the price.
