Tires MICHELIN or YOKOHAMA

I have a pair of Defender 1 and 2s on my 2017. Both great. Defenders will impact your MPG. Around 2-3 in my experience.

We put the Michelin Cross climates on 2 years ago, still no problems and much better gas mileage.

So, I got some Michelin X-Ice Snow tires put on for Winter!

I have Michelin defenders on my RAV4. They're loud but go like hell in the snow

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.

Thinking about putting them as “summer” tires for my ram.

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.

I’ve used both Yoko Geolanders and Nokian Outpost APT on my 2020 & 2022 OBXT and Nokians are better in rain & snow, and less weight.

Not only do the sidewalls flex at highway speed when you do a lane change, they track all over the place and feel skittish. I had my front end (Prius V) checked out by a shop that I trust, and they drove it on the highway. They agree that there is an instability with this tire.
