Best tires for highway miles only

So are you all recommending Michelin Defenders? Ha!

Thanks all for the help!

 

Of course, any not-cheap all-season will do and the Defenders are generally not good at being inexpensive so if you find a flaming deal from another reputable brand don't let us stop you!

 

I think Defenders is the way to go. It’s the best find for highway miles. Indeed a bit more expensive than other brands but I think they ll be worth it.

 

Do you do Costco?

 

I checked out Costco but I actually found better pricing at Discount Tires. Most of the reviews for Discount Tires speak well of them... we shall see.

 

Michilin Defenders. I had those on my 2011 Honda Pilot - its just a superb tire all around

 

I have had the Falken Wild peaks HT for over a year and are solid tires. They look and are more aggressive that the OEM tires. I drive in the snow and around on the farm and I have no complaints. I know, I know, it's a mall crawler : )

 

At 5k miles, I took off the stock Yokohamas and replaced them with 5 Defender LTX M/S2 tires on my 24 Limited. Awesome tires on the Limited.

 

I had a 2005 Sequoia that had the OEM Dunlop Grandtrek AT20s and loved them for comfort, quiet and good wet traction. BTW, wish I never sold it...it was before I knew how legendary the 4.7 v8 was. Guy I sold it to still has it with over 250k on it. Was happy to see the 4R came with them. Why don't I see any love of these tires from anybody? Other than being soft and low tread life, what am I missing? Are they considered bad tires by you folks?

 

I would have run them to the end of their tread life had one not gotten an unrepairable hole early on. It didn't make sense to replace that one with a new Dunlop when I got a fairly good trade in on the other 4 towards a set of Falken tires for not much more out of pocket.

 

For this use I'd consider it especially since newer takeoffs might be around for cheap.

 

They're pretty bad in snow and slippery conditions. Maybe it's a low temperature thing and the rubber stiffens up- not sure.

 

Thanks, but I'll be running snows in winter. However, MY GOD, I just priced out the Dunlops because I'll need sometime this year...$372/tire on Tire Rack...ouch!

 

I don't understand, it costs more than a bunch of E load Michelins, etc.
