Tires MICHELIN or IRONMAN

I like Michelin Primacy for quiet ride

One thing to note, we absolutely love the Michelin Defenders.

I'm in ironman gen 2 from tire discounters all 4, i got all the tires and the mount and a alignment and balancing for like 400$ bucks with the deal they run. And a free oil change. But the ironmans have done me well they did good in rain and snow and i haven't exactly been nice to them, handled potholes too.

It handles Midwest winters way better than the four options you listed, lasts longer (80k warranty), and feels more planted on heavier SUVs.

Michelin Defender 2 is a wonderful tire

I've had Michelin Cross Climate 2 and I love them. Rode through a blizzard without any issues.

I have the cross climates and there’s so much wider. Drives better too.

I hated the road noise and the firm feel from the OEM Conti's. Replaced with Michelin Crossclimate II's and the ride is much smoother and quieter.

Ended up buying new Michelin 21s and got stuck in wet grass a week later. Bought used 20” wheels and tires, Toyo open country ev3s and never looked back.

I put Michelin Pilot AS4s on my Subaru WRX in about Nov 2022. They were great for that winter. Since they're "ultra high performance all-weather" tires, I just planned on running them year-round. Come next winter, though - they were legit dangerous.
