Tires MICHELIN or Shinko

Decent brand all-season tyres will last well and be safe and capable all year round (come snowy season you might get roped into giving lifts lol), and you’ll have peace of mind; and those to me are certainly valuable enough to spend £350 on.

I replaced all my mismatched tyres when I bought my 2012 Yaris three years ago, with a set of Michelin CrossClimate+. Worth the piece of mind.

Try some Michelin Pilot Sport tires

I have Defenders on my Highlander, Corolla and Rav. They are the only tire I will ever buy.

Have had Defenders on the 2013 Sienna, a heavier vehicle than the Highlander, and they lasted me 53k miles...could have gone longer, I thought I had a worn out tread causing noise that turned out to be a bearing.

I went Michelin from Costco and I have no complaints. They are not noisy and have been great in the snow we just had in Minnesota this last season

Switched to CrossClimates from Defenders. They are unequivocally better.

Have a set of X-ice for the winter. Can't go wrong with Michelin's.

Bought a set of Bridgestone RE-71Rs. Fifth car (current STI): First set (besides factory tires) was Michelin Pilot Super Sports - not bad, but I missed the outright grip of the Bridgestone's- wore them down to the cords after 25k miles and a couple of track days.

I just replaced a set of dry-rotted, cracked Michelin's with tread that seemed nearly brand new. It really sucked to fail an inspection because of tires with so much tread left.
