Tires MICHELIN or IRONMAN

I'm in the same boat as you are. 2022 AWD and I'm looking at the Michelin crossclimate 2 or the Yokohama yk-ctx.

We have Michelin defender2 on the alltrack for the past 20K and they are nice and quiet, no signs of cupping so far.

Alot of people are snobs and your bound to have a bad batch out of the millions of tires sold yearly but modern tires still need to pass DOT certs so there's some form of quality control. Ironman make a terrific set of mud tires and all season sport tires for the price even though they don't last that long.

I have Defender 2s and still have 7mm of tread left after 80,000 miles. They've been great so far.

Something like the Michelin Defender is a safe bet and I've run those on Rav4's before.

Michelin Cross Climate 2's........been a great tire so far, got about 1000 miles on them.

Bit late but wanted to share my experience after having to get new tyres after a puncture a few weeks ago. I usually go for the cheap tyres, Achilles which were around $180AUD each. I couldn't find anyone supplying Achilles tyres in my rim size so I decided I'm going to try something a bit more expensive and replace all with Michelin Pilot Sport 5 which cost me $500AUD each. They are amazing tyres. They are so much more quieter, more responsive in corners (can take corners faster and sharper) and the ride is so nice. Even accelerating has less lag and more grip. It feels like a completely different car.

Michelins. Expensive but the best set of tires you'll ever drive on.

I got 19's with cc2's on MYP I get MAYBE a hair better efficiency over the the 21 ubwrturbines. They also have a decent amount of annoying whirring/road noise :/ but winter performance should be great.

My 70K Michelins were rocks at 47000

Still had some tread left all evenly worn but they sucked

No traction,no ride quality and i junked them.
