My next set are going to be Michelin Defenders. 98T Rated and a 90k warranty, they will be the last set of tires I buy for this car. I have a set of Multimile Matrix on right now (cheap), and the car came with Arctic Claw studdeds. I HATE the noise from the studs, and I found no appreciable difference in performance between the AC and the MM.
The Multimiles give a decent ride, but they wear quickly even with a 40,000 mile warranty. When I bought them, I had my car for two months, this is my first car BTW. The tire shop never told me that the warranty will only be honored if i rotate every 6,000 and get aligned every 12,000. I put 15,000 miles on these tires and the fronts are down to 4/32nds. The shop basically said "ha ha sucks to be you". The alignment perfect on this car, I could take my hands off the wheel and keep a straight line for a mile.
