another-bill is on a distinguished road
I bought a used 2005 V8 SR5 with Mastercraft Courser tires on it and they were like water skies in the rain and it rains a lot in South Louisiana. Replaced them with Michelin Defender LTX AT2 tires that were simply awesome. I drive 99% on the road with a bit of gravel, these tires had what I call the "Michelin ride" which is incredible, zero hydroplaning and great tracking. Hit a deer and totaled the 4Runner so the almost new tires went with it

Replaced it with a 2018 SR5 with the factory Dunlops, that sucked. The Defender LTX AT2 tires were unavailable due to the COVID issues so I bought the Defender LTX M/S tires and while not as aggressive looking's the AT2s they transformed the ride incredibly. Rock solid in the rain, like rails on dry payment and a super smooth ride. Happy camper here.

BTW, my old neighbor bought a 2003 4Runner SR5 4WD new with the goal of putting 250K miles on it, he sells industrial steel and travels a LOT. Today that 4Runner has 700,000 miles on it, original V6 motor, transmission and diff. In that time he went through 3 sets of Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires and got 100,000 miles on all 3 sets. Another tire that gave him good results were the Firestone Destination tires but the Michelins were incredible.

I have run many many sets of Michelin Pilot Sports on my BMWs with my crazy ass driving and I am an unabashed Michelin fanboy, so there's that.
