Tires MICHELIN or OEM BMW

Have about 5k on the Michelins after 55K on General Grabbers. As far as quiet goes, the Michelins are definitely quieter (and I think smoother) than the Generals.

I had defenders on my old truck and they last forever.

I drive heavy snow in the winter and logging roads in the summer. I found the stock Michelins hold up really well, and are extremely quiet without slipping in dirt or snow. The tires just don't look like they should work as well as they do.

I run these to get to ski resorts from denver on cold ass winter mornings. Good tire

We’re on 2nd set of the cross climates on an XC90. Only downside is they are a little noisy. Soooo much better than OEM tires…

Only thing that’s been on our Polestar 2 since the day we bought it back in 2022. Just put second set on after 60k miles, so I can vouch for the tread wear rating.

I use 18" Michellin X winters in STL/KC MO area, have every winter since 2023. Have never felt my car (2022 m3 lr dual motor) slip even during ice storms or snow like last year where people were sliding sideways in STL and I have a very steep drive to get in and out of

I put these on all of my cars now, I also live in New England. I used to have dedicated snows, but now I run these year round. Amazing tires.

I bought Michelin x-ice stock size, stock alignment. I found it cut a lot of power from wheel spin on a dry warm day. They did handle well in bad weather.

I have Defenders and one of them is defective. Chunks coming off.
