Tires MICHELIN or Nexen

FWIW, I have a similar pickup, gets driven maybe 1500 miles a year, and I have had those exact Nexen's on it for a few years now, they have been solid and 90% of when this is driven is in the winter, otherwise it just sits out in the sun.

Just had a set of pinza at, 275/65r18, load e  replaced Michelin primacy xc that were heavily dry rotting on the tread face, put 25k miles on them had plenty of tread left. Pinza road a bit stiffer, hardly any road noise.

Get studless Michelin or Continental.

I’ve got the Michelin X-Ice without studs. Good grip and quiet - can happily recommend them as an alternative to Nokians.

You will get your monies worth with the defender 2 tires over the course of driving 100,000+ km with them versus any other none Michelin tire.

Michelin had a slight edge on wet and dry asphalt. Michelin wasn't far off from the Nokia on the ice and snow performance either and also wasn't making as much noise.

I've got michelin x ice, pretty happy about them

I put a set on my Dodge 2500 Cummins and towed 13000 across Texas and over Raton pass. No visible wear. The truck drowns out any tire noise so cant comment on that.

Dirt roads and light snow no issues.

I just put a set of Potenza Sports on my CTS 4 Coupe it still had the Michelin Pilots on it. They lasted 35k but the fronts were by far the worst but this is a AWD so no rotation.

Imao sam Michelin Crossclimate 2 u dimenziji 235/50/18 na crossoveru. Jednostavno nisu odgovarale mom stilu vožnje. Solidne za po zimi, po ljeti se troše ko lude na autoputu. Put kočenja i po ljeti i po zimi duži nego da imaš ljetne po ljeti ili zimske po zimi.
