Had a set of 275/60-20 Michelin Defenders on my 2015 Ram. Air pressures were maintained, no alignment wear, rotations every 6K miles and the tread wore evenly across the tread width of each tire. After nearly 41,000 miles I had 4/32 of tread depth remaining on all four. Replaced them in March with a set of Hankook DynaPro HTs before going on my long trip at the end of April...The Michelin Defenders are rated at 70K miles. Maybe I could have gotten 50K miles out of them. But with only 4/32nds of tread depth remaining, a 3400 mile round tripper would have better road assurances with a new set of tires.
My neighbor has a 2018 Ford Expedition with the same OE Hankook DynaPro HTs. 78K miles plus on his with good tread depth still remaining. Pretty darn good. So thought I'd give them a try. They are very quiet as the Michelins were, though not quite as supple over the bumps and lane change tits as the Michelin were using the same air pressure but only by a small margin of notice.
My Michelin Defenders were very quiet, were very supple over bumps and supple over the lane change tits as well. But the lack of mileage life was disappointing. Got quite a good discount on the Hankooks after the pre-mature wear credit adjustments from the Michelins were applied.
If you go read the tire reviews such as on Tire Rack, few received their 70K miles or better from the Michelin Defenders.
Love the name "Michelin" though! I put a little over 92,000 miles on a set of Michelin Defenders running them on a Toyota Highlander.

I’ve had defenders go well over 80k. Last set was on my f-350 and they went about 75k before the truck blew up.
I love defenders...Michelin makes great tires for sure. I hate their LTX AT2 though. Very disappointed in my last set. Gone by 50k

The best is anything you're deeply grateful to have. It's the grateful part that makes you happy.
A Belgian Sweet 16 is the deadliest bird gun in my hands. And, I have shot virtually all the Bests.
If you live with a happy woman, be grateful.

If you don’t own at least 3 pairs of Knipex pliers, you’re doing yourself a disservice. A carry a small knipex in my leg pocket every day... I actually broke one with one hand...got a free replacement... Jesus Rain...I had never even heard of anyone breaking a pair of Knipex. My preferred go to as well. Kinda surprised me too...no doubt a flaw in the steel or something... This spring when working on the planter I broke the open end of my snap on 3/4 wrench...might give the imperetion I'm hard on tools...but my snap on stuff really doesn't get abused it just gets used in the shop...I have old wrenches to beat on and use cheaters ect... The snap on guy replaced it with no problem but was surprised it broke..

Snap on tools are alway considered the best top of the line...they didn't make my list and I dearly love using them and they are the nicest tools made...although they are by far not the best...I have had more warranty done on my snap on than any others...Mac i,pact scockets are way better snap on are too soft and hammer out easy... Ratchets strip out on a regular basis...old original craftsman are way tougher as were the SK and Porto..throw not as nice and pretty....

Snap-on feels good in the hand, but their finance plan sells more tools then their quality ever could.

This will all be just on person's options.
Just for fun I'll put out.
Michelin tires
Stihl saws
Dewalt anything
Ridged plumbing tools
Case IH farm tractors.
Ping golf clubs.
Your option's? First, find out where it is made. Communist Chinese - out . . . Next look for products made in America . . . After that, go with countries of manufacture that are proven allies with the United States.
