Best test result: #7 of 16 in 2021 Auto Bild All-Season Tire Test R17 (overall ranking)
“I recently installed Michelins (LT285/70R17) and previously had Yoko Geolandar G015 (LT285/R20). The Michelin is slightly larger than the Yoko. My highway mileage improved about 0.7 MPG (16.5 MPG), but in town mileage is the same at 13.5. The best mileage on my vehicle with OEM tires was 16.7 MPG highway (275/55R20 Hankook DynaPro). My truck is rated for 15/21. Ride quality is night & day difference (i.e. better). My first choice was the Firestone Destination LE, but it is not offered in my size. It rates higher than the Michelin. I spent a lot of time reviewing the Michelin Aglis CrossClimate. The UPS driver's in my area use the Crossclimate 2, which is bidirectional tread without a mileage warranty. The UPS trucks are getting 40-50K on the tires and the driver's love them. The standard Crossclimate is a one-way tread which does not work well for uniform tire wear on a truck. One complaint about Michelin Defender. The tread blocks are in a row with large spacing between treads. The straight line pattern results in tire wallowing on sections of pavement with seams in the direction of travel or on steel bridges.”
