Tires MICHELIN or Nokia

I only put Michelin defenders on my Highlander and 4runner and we use the 4runner to go to the Hunt land, gravel roads going into rutted dirt roads, forest service roads when going fishing, no issues at all.

After all my research I settled on Michelin X ICE Snow SUV. I went with 18" wheels and the ride is smooth, with a slight hum from the winter threads. Overall very quiet.

I’ve had the Michelin CC2’s for about 30k + miles and they still perform amazing in the Snow. Was up around Breck the opening weekend and had no problems.

Nokian Hakkapeliitta's are the best of the best. You can get both studded and non-studded. You likely don't need the studs, but they certainly help on early morning descents down i70 into Silverthorne.

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.

Long term update for anyone considering the Nokian One. Had them installed in 2022, put 40,000km on the vehicle since, 10k of that was probably on my winter tires. I just passed the 60% indicator. I figure they will last 60,000km.

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

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

I have the PS4S. Under heavy braking, my front would understeer slightly do to traction and I would fishtail coming out of the corners. As long as I was smooth and embraced a little loss of traction, I was fine. Overall, the tires did well on my car.

These Primacys should be recalled from Michelin or at a minimum they should cover the costs to replace/remove foam balance etc.
