Tires MICHELIN or Kumho

The defenders are a very good choice. On road performance is no different than the defenders, they are just as quiet, but have a slightly more aggressive tread.

That said, I really have enjoyed the Michelin Cross Climate; amazing rain traction and very cushy. Only knock is that they are a little noisy in sweeping turns.

the ride is sooo much better than the stock tires. quiet and smooth.

I've been buying my tires at Costco for years. Prices couldn't be beat, especially when they have a sale. Got a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2s for a minimum 400 less than anywhere else.

I live in Colorado and last fall I got Michelin CrossClimate 2s for my VB. Great tires! They worked beautifully all winter with the snow that we had (along with several trips up to the slopes) and also worked great with all of the rain this spring/summer.

I just bought a set of Michelin CrossClimate 2, which are arguably the best all-season tire out right now.

Just tried out Sullivan Tire for the first time. Got a good deal on a set of Michelin's, they were running a free install promo.

Ideally get a winter and summer set of wheels to have maximum performance during all of the seasons but if you want to run an all season tire like I am the Michelin pilot sport all season 4 is great.

There’s a guide by Michelin out there and according to that a little surface level dry rot is nbd, especially in the tread area

Don't risk it. 260kmph is already over the tires limits of 239kmph.
