Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 (275/55R21)

I had no real complaints about stock Pirellis on my 21s but needed to replace mine after a nail in the sidewall. I went with Michelins (from Costco) because I had good experience with Michelins on previous vehicles. So far (3k miles), I am happy with the switch. Thanks to Rivian Roamer, I can see my efficiency is a little bit better… 2.08 mi/kWh on average vs 2.00 for the Pirellis. I think they are quieter, too. They were less expensive, which makes them a winner in my book.

Really nice all weather performance and Ive noticed really consistent performance on conserve mode on the highway. Has handled snow and ice with superior confidence compared to my previous stock perellis. They are a slight bit louder in terms of tire noise but not to a dramatic degree in most scenarios. More noticeable on gravel or poorly build roads but they have better traction and road feel. Got them at costco and rotations/balancing is included. Ive had them about 10k miles and they are not wearing out to the ridiculous degree thst the perellis were. In terms of range, im getting a consistent 300 miles with full charge in average weather.
