I am on my second set of Michelin Defender M/S tires on my 2014 Highlander. Got just over 93,000 miles on the first set and could have got a few more miles. Great on the dry road and are better than any other M/S tires I have ever used in snow. Drove from Beckley WV to Roanoke Va last year with 80,000 miles on the 1st set in 8" to 10" of snow. We had no problem getting home and driving up the mountain we live.

Now they are not as good as All terrain tires would be but AT tires and Crossover SUV's don't get along well in my opinion and we do not get enough snow to justify Winter Tires.
