Tires MICHELIN or GISLAVED

Try some Michelin Pilot Sport tires

I have Defenders on my Highlander, Corolla and Rav. They are the only tire I will ever buy.

Have had Defenders on the 2013 Sienna, a heavier vehicle than the Highlander, and they lasted me 53k miles...could have gone longer, I thought I had a worn out tread causing noise that turned out to be a bearing.

I went Michelin from Costco and I have no complaints. They are not noisy and have been great in the snow we just had in Minnesota this last season

Switched to CrossClimates from Defenders. They are unequivocally better.

Have a set of X-ice for the winter. Can't go wrong with Michelin's.

The Defender LTXs have been great on my Highlander. Nice ride, quiet, good traction, long wearing too.

I have the defenders on my 2017, I have had them for 2 years and didn't put my snows on. They are a good all season tire and aren't noisy

Bought a set of Bridgestone RE-71Rs. Fifth car (current STI): First set (besides factory tires) was Michelin Pilot Super Sports - not bad, but I missed the outright grip of the Bridgestone's- wore them down to the cords after 25k miles and a couple of track days.

I have the Michelin on my mk6 Golf R. I absolutely HATE them. Noisy when new an produce a vibration/buzzing sound that is maddening at highway speeds. The wear is so/so, but they are getting noisier with wear. Never again.
