Nice! I’m not into HT tires because they are too focused on highway diving. but Continental makes amazing tires. I just picked up a set of Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 which are true 4 season tires DWS stands for Dry Wet Snow so apparently they do well in the snow too. But they are fantastic so far but it being summer only gotten to test dry and wet and both have been nothing short of amazing. My last set of tires were Michelin pilot sport I forget exact series, I wasn’t as impressed with them as some people are. Yea great summer tires but heavy wet conditions like massive downpours with lot of water on the road, they didn’t live up to the hype many reviewers spoke of and worthless in snow storms I had to actually make an emergency tire purchase last year during a snow storm because of how bad they were in the snow…

@@nspring06 no complaints about Extremecontact DWS06 as of yet.. however if your SUV is heavier and larger you will want to look for XL rated tires (extra load), I believe ExtremeContact DWS series has XL rated tires to pick from. Alternatively look for L/T grade tires (light truck) if you do a lot of hauling and towing, not sure Extremecontact comes in L/T grade however. Edit: only one word of warning about ExtremeContact DWS06, not anything bad, however they are Asymmetrical tread pattern, some people hate Asymmetrical tires for some reason.. this just means there is an inside and outside tire wall you have to be mindful of when mounting them on the rims one side is marked for outside and that side has to face out or it throws off your handling and messes with your alignment. but they can be rotated to any 4 corners as normally after mounted.. Asymmetrical tread patterns typically provide the best grip in adverse road conditions or extreme handling situations.

I'm just about done with Coopers. Have tried everything they have that has been recommended in the last decade; True Norths, Discoverer SRX, Discoverer AT(non-LT), and one other winter and all season model I can't recall the name of... the only tire that was good was the Discoverer AT3's LT that I had on my Tacoma and couldn't seem to wear out or flatten, despite almost 100,000 km and significant rough off road (moose hunting, etc.) and other abuse. The AT3s (non-LT) on my Rav4 Trail seem to be wearing way too fast and less than 15000 km. All others have gotten slow leaks or punctures. I'm now looking to replace the Discoverer SRX's on the Highlander, which are noisier than winter tires and seem to be impossible to balance perfectly, and have a plug in two of them, with the General HTS60 as they are on sale right now for a good price in our 245/55R19 size at $192 CAD.

I just got my first set of Continental HT XL tires n my 2021 Toyota Tundra Platinum Crew Max. I had these tires installed in the middle of a snow storm. On my way in with my OEM Bridgestone Duelers HL’S. These tires are unbelievable, when I went in I had to be in 4x4 we got 12” today of wet heavy snow in Iowa. When I left the tire store I wanted to test these new ones out. I left in two wheel drive and never needed 4wd after. They stopped like I was on dry pavement while on 100% snow and ice covered roads. I run Blizzacks on my wife’s car that are a 100% snow rate tire. These perform just as well as an all season on my Tundra. I have never been happier and more impressed with a tire in my life and this is just a highway tire. What amazing tires.

Michelin isn't what it used to be. I ran 2 sets of LTX M/S on my Expedition but they are just too expensive and the most I got was about 50k miles out of each set. What really killed Michelin for me was the Michelin Defenders on my Honda had a blow out at 80 mph on the interstate with less that 30k miles on them. The owner of the tire store told me the Defenders had been having problems so I bought Yokohama this time and so far very satisfied

Thank you! I have a Lexus GX 460 and the number one most recommended tire for them is "the old Michelin Defenders" If you read in all the forums you will see this. The problem is most new GX owners don't realize they do not make that tire anymore. Yes they technically make it still but it has been completely revised and is not the tire it use to be. If you really research it alot you will see this. I traded in my 2014 Lexus IS 350 AWD for a 2014 GX 460 about 2 years ago. It had newer Michelin tires on it that the dealership talked me into getting and they were not what I expected for what I paid. The Continental's I had on before were way better. Michelin is deff not what it use to be especially in the road noise category. They use to be the one of most quiet tires you can buy but not anymore. Anyway, What vehicle do you have the Yokohama Geolandar G056 H/T on? I think I'm going to go get a new set installed on my GX this week at Discount tire up the street from my house.

My completely stock (no rear locker) F150 XLT came with these Continentals. I would’ve never bought the Conti’s, but I WILL buy them again. I’m guessing they have about 35-40,000 miles on them, I’ve put 25,000 miles on them in 12 months. Lots of city & highway. Extremely quiet & smooth. Even wear. Excellent in the heavy rain. Last week I was traveling at 80mph in the rain with the cruise on… no problem. Great in the snow (deep & packed) with no sand bags. Very good in the mud. *I hunted these tires every weekend this last season. I drove through 12” deep drifts & snow filled ditches (no problems) with nothing in the bed but a 60# dog and kennel. In one feild, I thought I finally got them stuck, but realized I was in 4x2! Put it in 4x4, then drove right out. I’ve taken them down muddy minimum maintenance/dirt roads no problem. Tow 5,000# boat very well. Never thought I’d say this, but As long as they make these, I will not be going back to AT tires. Not worth the extra noise & ride.

These are not apples to apples. Yes they are all HT but they are not all intended to be used for the same things. If you are buying a tire purely for mileage, the LTX is probably your go-to. The Cooper though on a 1/2 ton/crossover suv application (its intended use) out performs the LTX in every other way including price. The General and the Continental are definitely better on a heavier suv and 3/4-1 ton towing application but that is more of their target market and intended purpose. They would not be a good fit on a family crossover though, there are much better tires for that application. I'm sure we can all agree that any Firestone is best suited as a garden planter, lol Yokahoma and Falken are both good tires for1/2 and maybe light duty 3/4 ton trucks, good mid-range tires that perform well but start to suffer when used for heavy towing. Most of these are good tires when used on the correct application.

i have had two sets of general grabbers on my 2014 Nissan Frontier. and still have the HTS60’s, but i may swap to another brand like Bridgestone Alenza. the original tires were BF Goodrich Radial Long Trail T/A and they worked out great except i only got 32,000 miles. The first new set were General Grabber XTS which are great tires but there was a vibration between 60 - 80mph, so i swapped them for another set of General Grabber HTS60, and these are doing the same thing at the same speeds. While at highway speeds and applying heavy braking i can feel and hear that there is something going on with at least one tire. Sounds like a spit on a tire that is mismatched possibly the construction of the tire, and both sets of grabbers do the same. Its as if both the XTS and these HTS60 have the same defect. If it’s not the tires, which can’t be because the original BF Goodrich were fine, then what could cause this vibration 60 - 80mph and the defect during heavy breaking ? The tire store doesn’t know what is causing it. These are the original cast aluminum rims and they fit into the hubs snug onto its centers. The tires are slightly out of round but this is with all tires. I like both the Grabber model tires and i would like to keep these HTS60’s, but they have vibration at a specific highway speeds, and noise during heavy braking. Does anyone have General Grabbers with the same issue?

Thanks for the videos, I learn a lot here. I don't think the ribs on the side are for cornering or stability however. Continental and others refer to those as sound barriers, or noise blockers. The Michelin does not use this technology. I prefer the Michelin for this, as I just feel there could be more mud and snow traction without those sound barriers, but I'm not sure it is a better design for traction or not. I doubt the Continental has stone ejectors. Continental sometimes puts small ribs at the bottom of the tread, they refer to them as 'traction grooves' meant to provide a bit more traction. I don't know if that would work or not, but maybe.

09 Chevy Avalanche LTZ 4x4 I can not decide which of these 3 tires I should get: Firestone LE3, Continental or Michelin... I researched the Continental to be A+ in all grading areas even better than the Michelin... and the Continental has a load rating of 114 which is better than the 110 of most others. The main 2 areas I want is lowest noise on highway and lowest roll resistance. Would you say all 3 of these would be great in these 2 areas? I am thinking the Continental may be less fuel economical due to its weight... Any feedback would be helpful. I am running 285/45/22 tires by the way. Thanks

Love my Michelin Defender. At least i did they discontinued my 235/75/15 factory F-150 size. Also I want to add the Michelin LTX was a better tire thougher sidewall and longer wear life. Defender combat that loss with more warranty. I use a highway tire with the exception of boat ramps and trips the dump.

Either tire is fine. The Michelin is a very good tire. They should be quieter and smoother than the Cooper but the Cooper is tough which I think is important for having a vehicle in NYC.

Just ordered a set of Terraincontact HTs for my Yukon. Tire rack had them rated as one of the best for ride comfort and noise and the description said the connectors on the shoulder blocks were for noise reduction which is what I'm looking for. That plus a 70k mile treadwear warranty what more could you ask for. Hope it lives up to it's hype, really want something comfortable and quiet without compromising grip or longevity.

@@Arellanog123 No increase in MPG because I average 28-30 MPG on the highway with both tires. Both tires are super quiet and they’re both very comfortable, Michelin so far has done better in rain but that’s after one day so there needs to be more time for a better accurate experience and I will see in the snow how they do coming up soon, I’ve never driven in the snow on the Goodyears and certainly didn’t want to with the little tread I had left, but I’ve heard nothing but great things of the Michelin defenders doing well in the snow. My advice is to look for a solid $150 rebate or discount deal for the Defenders shopping around. Costco had one last month but not ATM unfortunately.

@@DMalltheway I was able to get the $150 off at Sam's just a few days ago and I believe Costco starts on the 14th this Month.(we have family members that have the Costco membership, and we have sam's so we always compare). Man I wish I got your mpg lol. I'm over here struggling from 12-14mpg w/ the 5.7L Hemi. 😭😭😭. To a degree I blamed the aggressive tires, specially since they're cupping and becoming really noisy due to a bad alignment recently and pretty much all new suspension on the front end. I did love how the wranglers handled in snow, rarely had issues. But now that they're around 30k miles on them and tire life is low they're slipping in simple water. Will have to see how defenders compare.

@@Arellanog123 I have an Ecodiesel and despite the diesel costs being higher it’s still worth it with the MPG on Highway keeping the costs down, but yes a HEMI is rough on fuel mileage especially on a bad alignment. I would recommend taking the truck to a tire shop like Big O and see if they can match Sam’s Club or Costco price that way you can do a proper alignment while your getting new tires all at once since Costco doesn’t do alignment services. Also recommend using Groupon for any local tire shops if they participate, that’s how I was able to save another $65 at Big O after they matched the price at Costco and 2 of my credit cards gave me 5% back at Costco up to $20 max so I swiped with both of them to save another $40. It’s a grind, but tires are expensive.
