Tires MICHELIN or Goodyear

Defender of course! I’m (Ioniq 5) in my second set of Defender. Very strong grip.

Michelin M/S2 has been my go-to highway tire for the taco

You’re use case screams Michelin Defender. Fantastic long life tire with good traction and can handle some dirt too.

BUT Michelin tends to not develop much road noise even when old.

they are LITERALLY the best (and only) tires that should go on an AMG

Crossclimate 2, especially if you get snow.

I have them on my AMG GT 53 and they are glued to the road - outstanding tires. Reasonably durable too

They are awesome, pretty much the best thing you can run that isn't a track tire, and you'll be amazed at their wet handling.

The Michelins have a somewhat well-known delamination problem. I got them too from Costco on a Michelin month, and they are definitely a marked improvement over the stock tires in all regards. They're grippier in the dry and wet and quieter.

The Michelins that came with the 18s and the pro contacts with the 19s were some of the worst handling tires I’ve owned especially in the rain. I’ve never hydroplaned as much as on those tires on any of my previous cars. I wouldn’t want anybody I care about or myself driving on those in the rain. But if it doesn’t rain where you live, they’re pretty nice thanks to the foam.
