help pick tires for 2021 RAV4

[Capt W]

nd UTQG of 800.

What are the rest of the UTQG ratings? Traction? Temp?

These aren't the be-all, end-all, but would help foster a more thorough comparison/

 

[johnmyster]

Of those the Michelin Defender2 would be a good pick.

ditto

Michelin X-Tour2 is the Costco variant of the Defender2 if the mom/pop doesn't work out.

2021 Toyota RAV4, XLE, FWD. 225/65R17. 86k miles on vehicle. We plan on keeping it "forever".
Now, the vehicle is mainly used for road trips; not much daily use. No snow, just dry and wet pavement, no off road at all.
Coming off the vehicle are Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3. When I got them, I did a little research, and they had great reviews, 70k mile warranty, and UTQG of 800.
I have put 50k on them and rotated them 5 times.
There is 3/10th or 4/10th of tread left and they have been howling like crazy since there was about 25k miles on them.
Never again.
I get my tires from a guy that owns a local small mom and pop tire and auto place in town.
I did a little research and gave him a list. He added a couple and sent me back options with out the door prices. Please let me know your thoughts. I have a few other thoughts but want to refrain for sharing any more so as not to taint what anyone else says.
TIA

My most recent tire purchases were Cooper Endeavor Plus on a Grand Cherokee that never goes off roading. Seem quiet but they are basically unworn in the last 6 months (maybe have 3000 miles on them). Seem good have a 70000 mile warranty and a high UTQG

I like the RT45 but the value isnt there at 760.

The falken CT60@ 700 looks interesting.
The defender 2 @830 seems reasonable.

Continental CrossContact LX25 (not listed) appear to be cheap in your size.

tirerack has
Continental CrossContact ATR for 395 after rebate for 4. (what I would get for me)

Mich or Conti

+1

I go with Conti's or Pirelli's for smooth ride and quietness. Neither give up anything in the handling department even if it's in the touring tire class. Both cost a little more but so worth it in the long run.
