Tires MICHELIN or OEM Toyota

Glad to hear it. Just ordered a pair for the rear of my Kia Stinger - the factory Michelin Pilot Sport 4S lasted only 15,000miles / 22,000 km. I've had really good luck with Nokian winter tires over the last decade, so hoping these are just as good. I know they won't match the grip of the Pilot Sports, but I'm not tracking the car and the Nokian is only slightly more than half the price of the Michelins, so I'm OK with that.

Costco is good. Michelin defender 2 i just got, almost weird how quiet and smooth they are. Best tires for these cars IMO.

I just bought a new set of Michelin Defender 2s there, after doing a ton of research (I live in a non-snowy area, and prioritize quietness and mpg) The price all-in was better than anywhere else, and the install process was fine.

Get Michelin from Costco. They were very good for my 2008 Sport AWD. They lasted the mileage that was promised and never had any issues on snow.

I bought tires from Costco for my 2020 Rav4, ordered online, made an appointment and came back in a few days, I bought the Michelin CrossClimate2, I'd say it was worth it and with the Costco credit we had it was only 200 dollars for 4 new tires which was great.

I just got my Cross Climates there a couple months ago. Price was same as Tire Rack which is where I usually go, but included install.

The tires themselves are good, noise level and ride quality are comparable to the mxm4 (I can’t tell the difference) and when giving the car a bit of acceleration I was able to handily control the car around some wider turns.

After reviewing the comments out here, I went with Michelin Defender 2’s and couldn’t be more pleased so far (2000 miles). I picked up about 3mpg (36.9!) in town and up to 6 more (granted following my friends in their RV at 60 mph - I got over 40 mpg then). They handle well in rain or dry, are relatively quiet.

I also have the Defender 2 though I didn't quite make as deliberate a choice. I jumped a curve in a parking lot and did sidewall damage (some metal bit on a storm drain) to my stock tires, and I had the car towed to Discount Tire and the Defender 2 was the only good option in stock at the time.

I have this issue with Michelin Defender tires. Brand new set. Rebalanced 4 times at 3 different shops and an alignment and just feel so unsteady on them. Also feel like I notice every imperfection in the road.
