looking for new all around tires, 235/60-R18, driving mainly in Wisconsin wit frequent trips to the mountains of colorado
I put on Michelin Defender LTX . Had them a year and a half. Good in rain and snow. More pliable than the OEM Michelins. I was driving a Friend's RDX last night and was surprised ,how the OEM tires made noise at each road crack ,or bump, they hit. The LTX's are more quiet and smoother ride.
I replaced the Nokian WRG3 SUV with Toyo Celsius CUV. The Nokian was loud as it neared 40K mile mark. They both are equally good in snow. I will have to see how the Toyo sounds as it nears 40K. Michelins are trash and expensive. YMMV. They drive nice but not nearly good enough in snow as the all-weather tires are and they don't last.
Ordered mine online at http://www.tiresdirect.net. 4 tires cost me $546.

Just put Continental TrueContact on wife’s 2016 AWD and love them, supposedly 90K treadwear. Awesome in the rain and the comfort and handling is far better then the factory tires. Even the wife noticed the difference in ride quality. Here in ATL we recently had 8 inches of snow and while we did not drive in the worst of it we did drive in the melting slush and handling was great.

Waiting to pick up some Scorpio's as well, OEM Michelins will probably last about 50-55K.Originally Posted by 03TLS4me
I have Pirelli Scorpion Verde all season tires installed on mine. Smooth and quite with excellent winter traction.
Any issues with road noise after 20K? Seems to be the main complaint on Tire Rack.
