Hello all. Long time reader, first time poster. Lot's of great info on this site!
Looking to replace the factory all-terrains on my 22 Maverick with a quality all-season highway tire. I have pretty much narrowed it down to the Michelin Defender LTX or the Firestone Destination LE3. The Michelins are going to run $187 more total OTD as compared to the Firestones. I believe both of these to be good tires. My question is more of whether or not the Michelins are worth the premium over the Firestones. The Firestones are currently rated higher than the Michelins on Tire Rack...#1 vs #2 with the Firestone being scored higher than the Michelin in 6 out of 7 categories.
Of course, dry and wet traction are important but aside from that, ride comfort and noise level are most important to me.
Thanks in advance.
