Tires MICHELIN or OEM BMW

Not an apples to apples comparison per se, but we have a set of Michelin Defender LTXs on our '24 Sierra. Absolutely love them due to low noise, good comfort, great handling in dry/wet/light snow. Like them so much, had them switched over from our previous Silverado as we did not want the OEM Dunlops. No regrets.

Michelin Cross Climate 2 are rated to last like 50000 Kms or so. Grippy and fairly quiet.

We have these (T+H) on the Rav4. No complaints. Quiet, good in the rain, comfy, inexpensive when on sale. Tread life isn't 80k or whatever the warranty number is, not by a long shot, but what tire ever hits that? They'll need replacing around 55-60k, at which point I'll get the Defender 2.

I have a set on the Audi. I run them all year round. They are great IMHO. Michelin CrossClimate 2

I've used both tires. The Pirellis came oem on my Audi. I swapped them fir the Michelins. Ride comfort and handling made the Michelins the clear cut winner.

On a side note my wife’s Lincoln SUV runs Michelin defender’s and they are a great on-road tire!

Have had both. Ok my second set of Defenders now. If you want actual on road performance and tread life get the Defenders. In my experience the Michelins are much better in rain.

For your application, defenders all the way.

I switched from Road 4 to Road 6. I used both tires for around 2 years and 25,000 km, and went back to Road 4 (I wasn’t looking for Road 4, it was in stock and around %30 cheaper). In my experience, the cold grip on Road 4 is much better, and even after they heat up, Road 4 still feels like it has better grip. Additionally, I noticed that the bike pulled slightly to the left with Road 6.

I got the Pilot Sport AS 4. And I really regret it. I have 13% less range after 4000 miles on the new tires so the tires are broken in and now I have to live with the range.
