Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.
Only one of the two tires has a score here, so this weight changes nothing in the head-to-head.

Although I realize I am not limited to just what is in stock at my nearest DiscTire, what they have now is interesting - not many in stock right now. They range from the $169 Trailfinder All Terrain, the $206.00 Cooper Discovers ATP II, the $209.00 Hankook Dynapro HT RH12, then a big jump up to the $277.00 Michelin Defender LTX M/S, and the YUGE $293.00 BFG A/T T/A KO2. I need a tire pretty much for road driving only. I do not often go out of town but for instance I've got a 9 hour trip later this month. It snows here in my area maybe..2 weeks / year, and nothing insane. So I don't really even need A/T tires in my opinion. The Hankook Dynapro seems to fit budget and looks like a good road tire. I can't tell which ones are Chinese but, sure, I'd love to avoid that too! Thanks for all the suggestions here.”

Community sentiment toward the Michelin Agilis CrossClimate is largely positive, with owners of vans, RVs, and heavy-duty trucks praising its wet and snow traction, quiet ride, and capability under heavy loads. However, discussions frequently highlight trade-offs such as faster tread wear compared to the Defender series and concerns regarding an NHTSA recall on certain C-metric sizes for snow traction marking non-compliance. Prospective buyers also note confusion regarding the differing directional C-metric and non-directional LT-metric designs.
“I fitted these to our 680 Michelin Agilis Crossclimate 235/60 R17C 117/115R 8PR, 3PMSF And they work well, better off tarmac (Grassy muddy farm track) than the factory tyres and felt better in heavy rain. I can’t recall if ride quality changed tho.”
“Costco tire employee here- It can be hard to estimate tire life w/out warranty info. Most members see about 60k miles on the agilis crossclimate and 75k on the defender ltx. The agilis is the better tire for heavy loading but you have to balance that against how fast you'll wear them out. Both are great tires though”
“I bought a set of Agilis for my 2017 F250 King Ranch two years ago. I live in Colorado and I was attracted to the idea that they could possibly be left on year round and not have to swap between summer and winter tires. I have swapped between summer and winter tires for the past 25 years here in Colorado and I have tried tires that were supposedly "ALL SEASON" but they were always a compromise, not great in the summer and as a highway tire and not great in the winter as a snow or ice tire. The Agilis has been the only tire that has great summer performance, quiet and nice handling and also it has been hard to believe, but they act pretty close to Blizzaks I've had in the past for winter driving. I have 25,000 miles on them and they are wearing very well, and have not become noisy. I'm surprised there are not more accolades on these tires. They came out on top vs several other all season tires.”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
