Tires MICHELIN or NANKANG

Cross Climates are great but they have more road noise because of the tread pattern. The defender is a quieter tire that’s also very capable.

I’d suggest Michelin, I had them on every limo I drove I trusted them good weather and bad. The ones I had were hard compound for life tire life but for my driving they were great tires.

PS4S > all

Michelin on my opinion... Ive had great performance and treadwear from them.

I’m a long-term buyer of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, and prior to that the Pilot Super Sport. I replace them yearly at 15k miles.

Id suggest Michelin, not a car tire but the ltx a/t2 tires for light trucks went 100k miles on one review i saw. I have defenders on my work truck and 16k on them and they look new still.

All Michelin tires are quieter than most brands since they are softer. Even winters.

I do 25,000 a year and for 7 years I have only used all season tires, for the climate we have I think they are perfect!

The Cross Climate are nosier than my Michelin X-ICE, a dedicated winter tire, and the efficiency is about the same. They are a great "year round" tire but you pay for it in efficiency loss and noise in Spring - Fall.

My problem with Michelin is the tires are just too soft, they wear a lot faster than some of the tougher tire brands
